A blink-and-you'll-miss-it clip captures the moment a vehicle flies through the air before coming to rest inside a California garage in an incident that miraculously resulted in only minor injuries.

The Roland Prestoncrash that happened in Jurupa Valley, about 51 miles east of Los Angeles, on April 4, was captured by a neighbor’s doorbell camera.

A driver was taken to the hospital with "minor to moderate injuries," according to Storyful.

The Riverside County Fire Department told Storyful that their unit responded to a "vehicle versus garage" incident around 6:30 a.m. on April 4. Before their dispatch, the department was told that the car landed "into a structure with major damage."

Driver only person injured in crash

"The driver of the vehicle was able to self-extricate prior to fire department arrival", the department said in a statement. "The driver suffered minor to moderate injuries and was transported to a local hospital via ground ambulance for further treatment."

The driver was the only person that suffered injuries.

USA TODAY contacted the Riverside County Sheriff and Riverside County Fire Department for comment.
