MORE: We should note that the Ft. Lupton PD only provided us 8min worth of edited video from this entire event...which starts with police initiating a traffic stop...shows the crash...and then ends with them searching the suspect's vehicle for evidence.

Kirby Klements owns the home which was hit by the large falling engine cowling today. He tells @CBSDenver it came within 10ft of crashing through his home and killing him. Instead, it crushed his truck. He said he came outside and it was “snowing” insolation from the aircraft.
