The vast majority of asteroids orbiting the Sun do so on a path that is pretty much
in the same plane as the planets. There is a lot of empty space in the solar system,
however, we see asteroids with craters on them so we know collisions have occurred.
It seems likely that an asteroid whose path is highly inclined to the plane of the
solar system was involved in a collision with another object causing a radical change
in its orbit.
