While most residents were relaxing at home in Holiday, Fla. this weekend, one driver left a path of destruction through a normally quiet neighborhood.

The St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times said residents of Holiday described how Robert Kroskrity veered uncontrollable through the streets on Sunday before crashing into Bernie Gamache's house.

"I heard this ungodly noise," Gamache said. "Sounded like a tornado."

Area resident Mark Gillilan, who lost a patio wall during the Kia Optima's rampage, said the speeding car quickly got the attention of the entire neighborhood.

"He was literally in the air. He was going so fast, I could hardly tell what color the car was," he said.

"Every time it hit something, it goes bam! Bam!" he added. "It's a weird sound. But you'll never forget it."

The newspaper said emergency personnel took Kroskrity away before police discovered multiple drug prescriptions inside the damaged car.
