Drunk Crashes Slumber Party, Trapped Couple Escape With Minor Injuries
By John Coyle

When I saw this story on reddit, the headline was: “We’ve secretly replaced this couple’s alarm clock with a Chevy Malibu. Let’s see if they notice the difference.” Now, I thought that was hilarious, but I stopped snickering when I saw the image below. Looking at how the car is perched on the bed, it’s tough to see how Kristin Palmer and Trent Wood escaped with only “minor scrapes and burns” after a drunk plowed into their bedroom. Of course, when I saw this quote, I totally started laughing again: “Initially, Woods struggled to comprehend what had happened to him after being abruptly torn from his slumber.” I mean, duh. Most people would be a tad confused if they went to sleep and then woke up with a car parked on top of them. It’d be a lot stranger if he’d initially struggled to determine whether the control arm bushings needed to be replaced. For the whole story and more pics, head over to CNN.

@GTwildfire The car didn’t lose control. The drunk thought it was his ex’s house, and crashed into it on purpose. Would be a great Sleep Number commercial though…

That is a weird place to change your oil.

Not that this could’ve necessarily been expected, but I’d avoid living somewhere really vulnerable to a car losing control.

A car would have to be dropped from an aircraft to hit my house. Even my driveway has a brick wall preventing our cars from crossing the front yard, not to mention the 60′ trees, lol.

This really sucks but they were so damn lucky it defies belief. I guess the mattress left them enough wiggle room to slide out. It’s a good argument to choose a lower setting on a sleep number bed.

Of course the drunk should do time and not be allowed behind the wheel for many wrinkles and grey hairs to come… if ever.
