Drunk Driver Runs Over Himself

Funniest. Story. Ever!
Of course, it would be funnier if the drunk bled to death, but what are you going to do? And yes, I realize that I am a sadistic bastard.
Sue me.
SANTA FE, N.M. – A 21-year-old man was accused of driving drunk and leading police on a chase that finally ended with him running over himself. The 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.
A tip to the state’s DrunkBuster hot line Sunday afternoon alerted authorities to a possibly drunken driver.
State Police Officer Grace Romero spotted the man’s pickup truck swerving across both lanes of a highway, driving slowly and then fast. He refused to stop.
After narrowly missing other vehicles, police said the suspect drove through a ditch and a barbed-wire fence before stopping. He tried to put the truck into park, but it ended up in reverse.
Police said the man fell from his open door and both of his legs were run over by the front driver’s side tire. (Link)
I guess from here on out, he’ll be drinking at a handicap-accessible tavern. Heh.

Finally! I think this one falls in the just deserts category!
Are they still going to charge him with vehicular assult?
Old NFO – Irony, thy name is Drunky LaRue!
Josh – Maybe they’ll charge him with animal abuse. Because this guy is a jackass.
This was in a Monty Python skit. Upper class Twit of the Year.
Just what he deserved. I am glad only he was injured.
I think he ought to sue himself. I’ll bet he’d win.
For once, the drunk driver got injured!
Sully – We have a winner!
Admiral – Me, too. It would be a shame if someone else was hurt.
John D – In New Mexico? You’re probably right.
Doghouse – It’s about time!
I used to tend bar at a place in WI. I remember one day a guy came in who had been in late the night before. He looked really bad. Apparently he’d fallen out of the car when he was driving home the night before. Literally fell out of the car while driving it. He didn’t get hit by the car, but seeing the effects of bouncing along the pavement at 40 mph was enough to make me always to remember to belt myself in.
