If you said Accused drunk driver ends up running over himself with truck you’d be right!
The article goes on to describe a police chase that ended only after the 21-year old man being chased managed to run himself over with his own vehicle.
“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…the man fell from his open door and both of his legs were run over by the front driver's side tire.”
I simply cannot be more appalled by the sensationalistic desperation and blatant disregard for objective reporting that some of these "news organizations" continually put on display. Will they stop at nothing to boost their readership? Why would they immediately allege this 21 yr-old was inebriated when clearly anyone with an iota of common sense would realize this enterprising youth was merely inspired by Monty Python’s Flying Circus’ “Upper Class Twit of the Year”?
Go to the 2:52 mark if you don’t believe me.
When will someone take a stand and start holding the press accountable for their egregious and irresponsible news-mongering tactics?
