RARE PHOTOS: Crazed scots trucker who ploughed lorry into lover s house after drunken fight faces jail | Rare Historical Photos

A crazed trucker destroyed his lover's home after deliberately smashing his lorry into the front of her house. Derek Wellington had flown into a drunken rage after Sara Cassidy refused to meet him last September 6.

The 34-year-old screamed down the phone to her: "I am going to park my lorry in your living room." Ms Cassidy, 33, was later out on the street near her home in East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, when she spotted her partner driving past.

One witness described sounds akin to an "earthquake" as Wellington then repeatedly reversed his HGV into Ms Cassidy's house - completely wrecking the property. A court heard how a friend and two children inside luckily escaped unhurt.
