At least two people were hurt after a car crashed into the second floor of a building in Santa Ana, California, officials said on Sunday morning.

KTLA reported, citing local police, that the driver of the vehicle admitted to using narcotics before the crash. The driver is expected to be admitted to a hospital for an evaluation.

Police will now submit the case to the Orange County District's Attorney's Office after toxicology tests come back, according to Cpl. Anthony Bertagna.

How the car got to the second floor inside a dental office at 319 East 17th Street is not exactly clear. Crews were able to remove the vehicle at 7:50 a.m. Sunday.

The Santa Ana Police Department added that the driver was driving at a very high rate of speed when their vehicle hit the median. The fire department tweeted that the car then "went airborne and landed into the building."

Both people in the car were able to escape the vehicle, officials said. A fire was extinguished after the crash.
