A trucker who destroyed his then-lover's home by reversing his articulated lorry into the front of her house was jailed for 10 years on Wednesday.

Derek Wellington, 34, flew into a drunken rage after his girlfriend, Sara Cassidy, refused to meet him. He screamed down the phone at her: "I am going to park my lorry in your living room." Miss Cassidy, 33, later out on the street near her home in East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, she spotted Wellington driving past.

Sounds described as "like an earthquake" then rent the air as Wellington repeatedly reversed his HGV into Miss Cassidy's house, completely wrecking it.

The destruction left a £475,000 repair bill with both Miss Cassidy and a neighbour losing their homes. A friend and two children who were inside at the time escaped unhurt.
