SUV Crashes Through Oregon Home, Pins John Galvin In Bed (PICTURES)

An Oregon man got the worst wake-up call of his life on Saturday morning: an SUV crashing through his bedroom door and pinning him on his bed.

At about 1:30 a.m., a woman allegedly fell asleep, veered off the road and crashed into 40-year-old John Glavin's apartment, BeatCalls.com reported.

Glavin was asleep when the car came crashing in, pinning him to his own bed, according to a Washington County Sheriff's Office press release. He wasn't freed until emergency crews arrived.

Amazingly, Glavin went to the hospital without life-threatening injuries.

Cops say that the driver of the vehicle, 34-year-old Crystal Tomlin, wasn't drunk and isn't being charged at this time. She told Fox 12 that she may have suffered some sort of seizure while driving.

How in the world can you drive into someone's bedroom and not be charged with something?

They mentioned a seizure. Another reason could be high blood sugar. There will probably be at least a "failure to control" charge eventually, but I can see prosecution waiting to file charges until a more complete investigation takes place.

Love how the headline says that the SUV crashes into house, not that the DRIVER crahses vehicle into house. You just can't trust SUVs, but oh I forget, its Oregon.

Thank God all the parties are okay, but if she have seizure, why is she driving?

Sometimes they just happen. Not everyone who has a seizure has a history of them, so it's difficult. Now she's probably on medication to prevent them. Scary thought.

Holy crap.....thank god the man is okay. The worst thing someone can do while driving....it could be texting or putting on makeup....but FALLING ASLEEP..is by far the worst. All you have to do is PULL OVER. Take a break, lock your doors, and shut your eyes... it could be the best life-saving decision of your life. Again, thank god no one got hurt.

Remember, they mentioned a seizure. Another consideration could be high blood sugar, which is one reason why some states require diabetics to have that information listed on their driver's licenses. Sometimes medical problems overtake a driver before they realize it.

My oldest son, who had no previous history of heart trouble, was driving when he had a heart attack. He and one of his brothers were seriously injured in what was initially thought was a drunk driving accident but later was concluded to be a heart attack. The accident left him seriously brain-damaged, a condition which continued until he had a second --- and this time, fatal --- heart attack four months later while undergoing physical therapy.

Sometimes there's just no blame to be assigned when a bad thing happens.
