Sparks, Nevada - Man (Eric Cross) Mistakenly Plunges Car through Wrong House After Breakup
A Nevada couple recently woke up with a car on top of them in their own bedroom. After an hour of being pinned down to the bed with motor fluid raining into their faces, the two college students, Kristin Palmer and Trent Wood, were rescued by emergency workers. They suffered remarkably minor injuries. The man driving the car, Eric Cross, allegedly slammed into the house not only because he was drunk but also because he thought the house was that of his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend. Cross has been charged with battery with a deadly weapon, possession of a stolen vehicle, driving without a license, and careless driving. According to the Washoe County Sheriff’s office, Cross was also drunk at the time of the accident.
The end of a relationship is a difficult time, and people often let their emotions and pain get the best of them during the dissolution process and do things to harm their own case, especially when child custody is involved.
