This one is interesting.
This is about an MVA that happened in Germany.
In a spectacular traffic accident in the state of Saxony a 23-year-old man crashed his car into a church roof.
On Sunday evening (25/01/09) in the town of Limbach-Oberfrohna a vehicle left the road presumably due to high speed, he broke through a railing and drove up a 1 meter high embankment. The embankment acted like a ski jump, so that the car took off and flew about 35 meters through the air. The car landed about seven meters high in the roof of the town church.
This scene happened in front of a police patrol car that was waiting at a traffic light. The 23-year-old driver was seriously injured in the accident and had to be rescued by the fire brigade. He was taken to hospital and according to the police he is in a stable condition and his injuries are not life threatening. A blood test should clear whether the man stood under the influence oof alcohol.

That's happened in the Pittsburgh, PA area a few times in the past as well. Not into a church per-say, but cars going airborne and lodging in roofs.
