Had something like that happen in my old neighborhood, once. Luckily they came to a stop just a few inches away from my neighbors house.

I remember the whole block came out to see what had happened.

Horrifying. No matter how safe you feel, no matter where you are, all it takes is one idiot in a car to end your time on this Earth.

Why was this old moron driving like 200 on a residential?

Might have been a medical emergancy where they lost consciousness and pressed down on the accelerator leading to the accident.

Another reason old people should not be driving multi ton death machines
