Drunk driver runs over himself
An American man believed to be driving drunk lead police officers on a wild chase that promptly ended when he somehow managed to run himself over , reports Metro.
State Police Officer Grace Romero spotted the 21-year-old man’s truck swerving across both lanes of a highway at erratic speeds. Despite repeated warnings, the driver refused to stop.
After pursuing the driver and observing him narrowly miss a number of other vehicles, police watched the suspect drive through a ditch and a barbed wire fence before eventually coming to a halt.
The driver then attempted to put the truck into park, but found the reverse gear instead. As he did so, he fell through the car’s open door and both his legs were run over by the front driver’s side tyre.
The 21-year-old man was treated for minor injuries at a Santa Fe hospital and booked in to the Sandoval County detention center on charges of aggravated driving while intoxicated, fleeing a police officer, careless driving and two other outstanding traffic warrants.
