A TRUCKER who destroyed his then lover's home by reversing his articulated lorry into it has been jailed for 10 years.
Derek Wellington, 34, flew into a drunken rage after former 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." Sara, 33, later spotted Wellington driving past when she was out on the street near her home in East Kilbride.
He then repeatedly reversed the HGV into the house, causing £475,000 of damage which left Sara and a neighbour having to live elsewhere.
A friend and two children who were inside at the time escaped unhurt.
