Kristin Palmer and Trent Wood were asleep in their home last week when a motorist allegedly drove into their bedroom around 4 a.m., mistakenly believing it was his ex-girlfriend’s home.

The University of Nevada students spent almost an hour pinned between the car and their bed while emergency workers battled furiously to free them.

Somehow, the two left the scene with relatively minor scrapes and burns — and a new lease on life, Wood said.

Authorities say the motorist was drunk when he drove into the couple’s home in Sparks, mistakenly believing it was the home of his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend.

Eric Cross is accused of drunken driving, battery with a deadly weapon, possession of a stolen vehicle, driving without a license and careless driving for his alleged role in the crash, which occurred October 21, according to the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office.

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.”

The couple calmed down somewhat after emergency workers arrived at the scene, using chainsaws to rip through the wall, Wood said.
