PALOS VERDES ESTATES, Calif. -- An out-of-control car landed on the roof of a home in Palos Verdes Estates on Wednesday.

Officials said the four-door Lexus appeared to have driven off the road in the 500 block of Palos Verdes Drive West.

After exiting the road, officials said the car went down a driveway where it hit a car before landing and coming to a rest on the roof.

Both the roof and vehicle appeared to suffer extensive damage.

An Urban Search and Rescue team was at the scene determining if the structural integrity of the property had been compromised.

Palos Verdes Drive West was closed as crews worked with a crane to remove the car from the roof, which appeared to be over the home's attached garage.

Officials said the driver of the crash suffered injuries, but described them as non-critical injuries.

Police are investigating the cause of the crash.
