Chicago Car Dealership Worker 18 Crashes BMW Into Home On Test-drive

An 18-year-old car dealership employee ended his work day in handcuffs, after he crashed a white BMW into a home...while two passengers were on a test-drive.
Vladyslav Vityk, who works for WIN Auto Plaza, was taking the two customers out for a spin in the suburb of Elmhurst when he lost control of the powerful 2012 BMW X6 M. 
Crossing into a residential yard, he slammed the car into the garage of Eric Bowgren's home - while Bowgren was just a few feet away - causing significant damage.
The siding was ripped out, bricks and insulation went flying, and a tire flew off the car.

The white BMW removed part of the garage and sent bricks and insulation flying into the street
Neither Bowgren nor Vityk was hurt, but both adult passengers were taken to Edward-Elmhurst Hospital with minor injuries. 
'Sitting in my office working, heard a large crash,' Bowgren told . 'Corner of the house was blown out, so I think somebody lost control of the car and just drove through our house.'
