FRESNO, Calif. (CNN/KGPE) - Talk about a wild ride. The driver of a car lost control and ended up parked on the roof of an apartment building in Fresno, Calif.

Police say the speeding driver missed a turn Wednesday morning, hit some rocks, a tree stump and went airborne, landing on the roof.

Amazingly, the car did not crash into the building and no one was hurt.

The driver ran away wearing only boxer shorts. Police caught him a short time later. He was taken to the hospital for treatment.

A crane was brought in to get the car down.

Investigators are looking into whether the driver was drunk or on drugs.
