Feenish Him

welcome to the genepool

Finland recently had a story about a fine entrant for the Darwin Awards: A drunk driver run over by his own car.

The unlikely incident took place in the parking lot of a store. The man was attempting to get his car started, and having failed to do so using the traditional key-in-the-ignition method, he got out and opened the hood, jump-starting the car from there. Unfortunately, the vehicle was apparently in gear and it lurched forward, running over his lower legs before it collided with two other parked vehicles.

Brilliant. At that level of BAC though I have to hand it to him for being able to hotwire the car at all since he likely could have fueled the car with his breath alone. :)
