FORT WORTH -- A man suspected of being drunk drove his car into an east Fort Worth Walmart this morning before jumping into the bed of a passing pickup in an apparent attempt to escape, police said.

The pickup’s driver, afraid he was about to be carjacked, then struck three or four cars in the parking lot trying to remove the man from his truck, police said.

The incident happened about 8:15 a.m. at the Walmart at 8401 Anderson Blvd., near Interstate 30 and Eastchase Parkway.

Sgt. Pedro Criado, a police spokesman, said witnesses reported seeing a man driving erratically in the parking lot, including doing donuts, before crashing through the store’s glass doors.

If they get you out of the parking lot to somewhere secluded you are dead. D E A D dead. You can recover from being injured in an accident. You can’t recover from being dead.

You're right. And if someone pulls a gun and tells you to "get in the car" you have a much better chance of living if they shoot you than if you get in the car... Your chance of living if you go to the secondary crime scene is almost zero.. . So run and scream - the monster might miss - and if you are shot, you have a great chance of getting out of the hospital (high 90%) just fine...

I always thought that those "</sarc>" notations at the end of humorous/sarcastic posts were unnecessary, but I guess they're not.

How about thinking he is going to die if he doesn’t get rid of the guy in the back of his pickup.
