A drunk road rage driver who accosted a woman motorist was run over by his own truck when she fled.
Bungling Joseph H Carl, 48, drove his pickup into the rear of a car at traffic lights then got out to remonstrate with the other driver – banging on the window and yelling at her.
The terrified woman drove off leaving Carl standing in front of his Dodge 1500 truck which began rolling towards him.
Carl put out his arms and tried to stop it but the truck – which was still in gear – ran over him, police said.
He was treated in hospital for fractures to his hand and foot.
Police in Gainesville, Florida, said Carl was seen stumbling around before being hit and smelt of alcohol. Officers found an open cold can of beer and numerous empty cans in his truck.
He refused a breath test but a blood-alcohol test carried out later in hospital showed he was nearly three-times over the drink drive limit.
Carl was arrested on charges of drink driving and drink driving with property damage.
