Truck Driver Runs Over Passed-Out, Drunken Man

Having too much alcohol in your body can make you do unusual things, even endangering your own life

A drunken and unconscious 23-year-old man, who was lying underneath a truck, was injured when the vehicle ran over him.

According to reports, a male Tacoma Toyota driver was backing out of the driveway of his house along Berwyn Road off Reagan Road in Mira Mesa when the DUI accident happened.

The driver continued to pull over though the truck’s front wheel suddenly jerked. He already moved around 12 feet when he saw that he accidentally backed over his friend.

Reports said the drunken man was curled op on his side. The vehicle’s front passenger tire rolled over his chest and back, which left tire marks on his body.

The man was conscious and talking after he was ran over by his friend. He was brought to a hospital to be treated for his injuries. Authorities said the extent of his injuries remains unknown.

Pilot Attempts Aerial Stunts, Dies in Crash

Authorities have a reason to believe that the pilot who was killed in a plane crash in Calaveras County Monday morning may have been trying to do some aerial stunts shortly before the accident.

Witnesses say that the pilot, whose identity is yet to be released, was trying to do some flips in the air at about 9 am before the Cessna 172 he was flying crashed into an area near Pool Station Road.

The pilot was found dead and no one was reportedly on board with him. The Federal Aviation Administration said that the registered owner of the 1976-manufactured aircraft lives in Oakdale and was not flying the plane at the time of the accident.

Authorities are yet to determine the cause of the crash.

These aircrafts must be regularly checked to make sure that the pilot would not encounter any trouble while on the air. Also, pilots should not attempt to do tricks if the aircraft that they are using is not in its best condition.
