In hindsight, he could have taken down the license plate and a description of the car, instead of trying to take the keys. Or, just call the cops. (Although doing so might reduce their speeding ticket revenue.)
this is when a spike strip would come in handy for regular citizens.
He did the right thing...it is just a problem with today’s society that they think he went too far...too bad though. It is a reflection on the folks today. Right is right and wrong is wrong - too bad that other don’t understand the difference. Such is our crappy life now! Yes, I don’t want to be part of it either!
Attempted carjacking gone wrong?
They taught us in Driver’s Ed to just reach out the window and slap the driver.
Jeeze! I just read the posted comments here and found them to be asinine. ......Mr. Wood was trying to prevent a possible head-on collision between the vehicles headed South and this drunk headed the wrong way.
This incident happened in my general area and I watched the local news coverage.
The gray pickup was headed North on the Southbound lane of a three-lane freeway, but was stopped on the shoulder and the drunk driver was apparently passed out. Mr. Wood reached through the open window to remove the key and the drunk woke up and stomped on the accelerator. Wood then fell and suffered serious injuries.
not so sure that reaching into ta stranger’s car is a good idea. i wouldn’t have done it. call the police. this guy could have had a gun and put one in his face, you never know. if you’re that concerned, then block his car in with yoru own. better sheet metal damage than what this guy has.
