GAINESVILLE, Fla. – A man in Florida apparently got a dose of road rage karma when police say he was run over by his own pickup truck after getting out to bang on another driver's window.

It happened Tuesday evening in Gainesville, Florida.

The Gainesville Sun reports 48-year-old Joseph Carl had been drinking and drove into a vehicle stopped at a red light. He got out of his truck without putting it in park and began banging on the window of a woman's car. When the frightened woman drove away, there was nothing holding his truck in place.

The truck rolled into Carl. A police report says he was taken to the hospital where he was treated for fractures in his hand and foot.

He's charged with DUI and DUI property damage. It isn't known whether he's obtained a lawyer.

He would have been better off making loud exhaust noises to annoy her.

She was talking on a cell phone and he lost his schit. See it all the time.

I'm not surprised, Gainesville is kinda redneck. You'd think the fact that you need a GPA well over 4.0 to get into U of F would rub off on some of the locals
