Locals called the cops claiming a Renault Clio had been hit by a meteor \u2013 and it left a gaping hole in the vehicle.<\/p>\n

The owner was left baffled when emergency service workers showed up at his door to tell him about the hole blasted through his car. The blast left a chamber approximately 20 inches wide in the roof.<\/p>\n

The force of the collision also broke the window of the vehicle while it was parked up in Strasbourg, eastern France earlier this week. Emergency service workers are investigating whether a meteor was responsible.<\/p>\n

Car owner Romain was asleep when police began knocking at his door with the bizarre news. Speaking to TF1 info, he said: "I asked them 'what's going on?', they told me 'it's complicated, you'll see…' And I saw… ".<\/p>\n

Local fire captain Matthieu Colobert told Metro: \u201cUpon our arrival, we noticed a relatively large impact, with a diameter of approximately 50 centimetres, which passed through the roof, the underbody and the fuel tank of the vehicle."<\/p>\n

Investigators confirmed that there is no radioactivity detected so far. Typically a meteorite would only contain a small amount of radioactive material so this is to be expected.<\/p>\n
