Florida Man Gets Run Over By His Own Truck During Road Rage



48 year old Joseph Carl got a little too drunk on Tuesday night, and the karma hit him like a truck.

After hitting another car at a red light, Carl got out of his car and started banging on another drivers window. The woman, who was frightened by Carl, drove away immediately.

What Carl didn’t realized was that when he got out of his truck, he failed to put it in in park. Before he knew it, he was being run over by his own vehicle.

Carl suffered from fractures in his hand and foot, and was charged with DUI and DUI property damage.

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. (AP) - A southwest Florida waitress has dubbed the trio of naked hamburger thieves who broke into an eatery "dumb, dumber and dumbest."

Waitress Nancy Sansevieri was still laughing after police released surveillance video Wednesday showing the college-aged men - two naked and one clad in underwear - stealing 60 hamburgers from Doc's Beach House in Bonita Beach.

Police say the men broke in early Sunday and left a trail of red peppers on the beach.

drive an automatic don't get their cars equipped with a parking brake.

They come that way? Are you sure? I don't believe I've ever seen anyone with an automatic engage that brake.

DU Thread from 2006: WH took 6 days to report Marvin Bush's maid crushed to death in driveway

Bertha Champagne, a 62-year-old woman who worked as a maid/babysitter for W's brother Marvin Bush, was found mysteriously dead in Marvin's driveway. She had been crushed against a wall by her own vehicle. The story was that somehow the brakes became disengaged, crushing her against the wall.

Marvin, you may recall, had been appointed head of security at the World Trade Center towers in NYC just before 9/11.

The story wasn't reported in the media for six whole days. Then, only one story was published (in the Washington Post).

Guy backs out of his driveway in an SUV. He sees the morning paper in the driveway. He leans down to pick it up. Way down. Next thing you know, he gets run over, and he's Six Feet Under.
