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.

Hahahaha!

What are you implying, Bamf? :D
 
Mmkay. Just wondering is all.
 
They say you're physically and mentally impaired when you're drunk. But, I tell ya, I couldn't do that amazing spectacle of a stunt if I was sober.
 
Poor guy. He must be so embarassed. :p
 
This happens all the time, it seems...idiots running themselves over. There was some woman who tried to hit two officers with her vehicle, then drove off, fell out, and ran herself over. Classic.
