WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- A motorist drove his pickup truck into his neighbor's home Friday -- causing a fire that burned part of the house -- because he swerved to avoid a cat in the road, authorities said.
Palm Beach County sheriff's spokesman Paul Miller said Clifton Cook, 18, swerved into bushes and then smashed into the house at about 1:40 a.m., the Palm Beach Post reported Friday.
Cook told investigators he saw the cat and tried to hit the brakes but lost control. Cook suffered a minor injury but did not seek medical attention.
No one was home at the time, Miller said.
