Police say a driver in California who fell out of his truck was drunk.

On Saturday, California Highway Patrol shared a video on Facebook of what they say is a drunk driver falling out of his truck and into the street.

“Don’t drink and drive,” the video warns before an Aramark truck is seen making a sharp turn across traffic in Arden-Arcade. Afterward, a man can be seen laying in the street near a crosswalk. He stays huddled on the ground for a moment before slowly struggling to his feet.

Police say the truck continued down the street until it hit a sign. No one else was injured.

Web site demands that I remove my AD Block first.
Says it will ‘improve my experience’.
Yeah, I fell for that line before, maybe 15 years ago.
There are a very few select sites that I will open the floodgates for, and throw caution into the air. Not too many.

Too many of the interlopers from south of the border are.

That’s pretty much a country song, right there.

I removed AD Block for AccuWeather.com and the site pretty much never worked after that.

Sometimes, devices such as AdBlk become a necessary thumb in the Dyke....I mean Dike.

Was it the driver, or coworker?

“Afterward, a man can be seen laying in the street near a crosswalk.”

Did anyone get the eggs?

A couple years ago, one of the local drunks drove off the road in his pickup and hurtled about a 100 feet down a wooded hill, coming up against a tree just short of a hiking trail. He was able to climb up the hill to safety but the truck remains. Whenever I go down that trail, you can see that pickup still sitting there against a tree. I don't think there's any practical way to haul that truck back up there.

But the drunk had nary a scratch according to the local newspaper. Isn't that always the case!

When I was young, I thought that was a good self-applied sobriety test... Always knew to stop drinking when it happened...

Thank you for that correction. My wife says she’s going to lay down, and I ask her what she’s going to lay down, and she always says “eggs”.

My wife says that too. I don’t usually play grammar Nazi (there’s not enough time to keep up with FR alone, much less the rest of the internet), but the lie/lay thing always irks me. Come on, journos, you were supposed to learn that in second grade or so.
