TOMS RIVER — Two people are dead after a vehicle crashed into the second floor of a building on Sunday morning.

Toms River police said the car landed on the second floor of the house-like structure at 1466 Hooper Ave. just before 7 a.m., leaving a gaping hole in the right corner of the brick faced building.

An officer at the scene told New Jersey 101.5 the vehicle was a Porsche traveling at a high rate of speed. Skid marks could be seen on the eastbound side of Hooper Avenue heading toward the center median and the building. The car landed upside down with its bumper landing on the front lawn.
