Couple survives car crash in their house

A college couple in Nevada miraculously survived with minor injuries when a drunk driver drove a car right through the wall of their house and onto their bed last week. They lay pinned to their mattress for about an hour until emergency workers showed up with chainsaws and released them. The accused, Eric Cross, had mistaken their house for one belonging to his ex-girlfriend and her new mate. An excerpt from CNN:

Initially, Woods struggled to comprehend what had happened to him after being abruptly torn from his slumber.

“I thought the roof caved in from an earthquake because it’s an old house,” Woods said.

Then, his girlfriend began screaming and parts of the car came into focus, helping Woods to groggily piece the scene together,

“I could see the tire to the right side and I was like, there’s a car on top of me right now,” he said. “That was really hard to get through my head.”
