A man who police say had been drinking was involved in a road rage incident during a downpour Tuesday evening and was injured when he was run over by his own pickup truck.Joseph H. Carl, 48, drove his truck into the rear of a vehicle in front of him that was stopped at a traffic light, according to a Gainesville, Florida, Police report.
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. Police and paramedics arrived, but Carl refused medical treatment, the report said. [Source] [BJS]
