A woman in Hartly, Delaware, woke up to the feeling of her bed being moved on Friday.
When she got up, her bed was several feet away from where it was when she went to sleep that night. Authorities say a hit-and-run driver was to blame.
A drunk driver drove off the road near the 2000 block of Fords Corner Road in Hartly that night, investigators said. The driver steered his vehicle, a 2002 Dodge Stratus, into the side of the sleeping woman's house, and then drove off.
The impact of the crash traveled through the wall, and propelled a bed inside the home across the bedroom, along with the home's resident. The sleeper, who police did not name, was not injured.
The woman called the police, who tracked the vehicle to a house on the 2000 block of Arthursville Road, where it was parked outside. Authorities interviewed the owner of the house, Scott T. Mitchell, and then arrested him for driving under the influence.
Mitchell has also been charged with reckless endangerment and leaving the scene of an accident.
