    I drove past this today and had to do a double take when I seen it. He almost put it through the other side and its amazing no one got killed or seriously injured. One lady got a small scrape on her leg. They are saying the driver fell asleep or passed out on the night news.

    Wow lloks like he took out 2 floors prob 4 rooms, there has to be a curb around the motel property, he must have really been asleep to bounce over a curb and all and not wake up before he hit, he must have been going a good clip to go in that far.
