CURTIS, Wash.- A woman who was angry about finding her ex-boyfriend with another woman took out her frustration on another man, accidentally.


The woman was driving when she thought she saw her ex-boyfriend's car pull out in front of her. She forced the car off the road as they entered a bend and rammed it three times, State Patrol troopers said.

When the two cars finally came to a stop, the woman, Theresa M. Wilson, 43, realized it was not her ex-boyfriend.

Wilson was arrested by troopers and booked into the Lewis County Jail for investigation of second-degree assault.

Wilson had mistaken the red 1987 Chevrolet Sprint for her boyfriend's maroon 1988 Chevrolet Spectrum when the collision occurred around 6:45 a.m. Tuesday.

The driver of the Sprint, Tim Baars, 47, was on his way to work and at first thought Wilson's car just wanted to get around him.

"That's not even close to what she was thinking," Baars said. "Things like that just don't happen around here."

Baars said he suffered some soreness from the collision.
