Friday Poll: The Road Rage Incident

In Florida, Joseph Howard Carl’s truck rear-ended another vehicle, after which he leapt out and began pounding on the other driver’s car window.

Here’s what happened:

Carl then jumped out and began banging on the driver’s window and yelling at the woman inside, apparently neglecting to put his pickup into park.

The driver of the other vehicle was frightened and drove away, leaving nothing to hold back Carl’s Dodge 1500 truck.

The truck began to roll, and Carl, standing in front of the vehicle, put out his arms and tried to stop it, but it ran over him, the report said.

Police and paramedics arrived, but Carl refused medical treatment, the report said.

Carl was stumbling and had a strong odor of alcohol, police said. He told police he was coming from Live Oak and had had three beers. Inside the truck, police found an open and cool 16-oz. can of Miller High Life along with numerous other empty beer cans.

So, a series of mishaps or cosmic justice?
