The United States currently has a 50/50 divorce rate, but for some couples, the bitterness of an inevitable ending to something that once held so much promise is just a little too much to bare. On Sunday, Patricia Dunn of South Los Angeles found out the hard way that there might be some truth to the old adage, "All is fair in love and war." When her estranged husband got behind the steering wheel of a dump truck and plowed into her home, it sent the Westmont neighborhood into a frenzy as residents yelled and horns honked in the background. The suspect's dramatic on-camera display occurred in broad daylight on 107th Street and Normandie Ave. Plenty of witnesses were on hand to watch the destruction, including Patricia.
"A man under that kind of rage, who's to say what he might do?" Patricia said for a legal battle regarding "He was trying to kill me. He really was...We are going through a divorce. And he is upset about the fact no contact. He's verbally abusive, and I have nothing nice to say."
In the moments leading up to the aforementioned crash, Patricia's husband allegedly drove by her home three times in his Chevy Impala before ramming that vehicle into the house. The dump truck wasn't introduced into the confrontation until the second round of attacks.
Patrica is reportedly seeking a restraining order against her husband, and she has relocated for the time being out of fear for her life.
