"I'm grateful that it wasn't us and sad that it was them, really. My condolences go out to their family," Navarro said.
She said three of their vehicles were damaged, two of them totaled, but they may have saved her life. The trucks in the driveway and in the garage stopped the airborne SUV from going further into the house.
