   A Nissan sedan became airborne and crashed into a California   
   dental office on Sunday morning, coming to rest dangling out of   
   the building’s second story, the authorities said.   
      
   The police in Santa Ana, Calif., said the car clipped a median   
   outside the building and flew about 60 feet before slamming into   
   the 17th Street Dental Office.   
      
   The crash, which happened at about 5:25 a.m., rattled guests in   
   a motel next door but the dental practice was closed at the time.   
      
   The Los Angeles County Fire Department used a specialized   
   forklift and wrecker to remove the car, the police said. One of   
   the two people inside the vehicle was able to exit on his own,   
   but emergency workers had to remove the other person, a police   
   spokesman said.   
      
   The driver told officers he had used drugs before the crash and   
   was taken to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries, the   
   police said. The spokesman said that the authorities had filed a   
   charge of driving under the influence but that the driver had   
   not yet been arraigned because he was in the hospital.   
      
   The passenger also sustained minor injuries.   
      
   On Sunday afternoon, the car was gone from the building but a   
   giant hole remained on the second floor of the dental office.   
   The owner of the practice could not be reached for comment.   
      
   A woman who works at the motel next door said it was fortunate   
   the motel was unscathed. “Inside, it’s a major loss,” the woman,   
   who declined to provide her name, said. “It’s a big hole.”
