CATHEDRAL CITY (WVLT) — Los Angeles police said an “extremely intoxicated” man fell out of his truck window and got his foot caught in the steering wheel, leaving him hanging upside down.
Authorities said the incident occurred while the man was trying to flee the scene of a crash near Cathedral City, CBS affiliate WJHL reported. CHP Los Angeles shared a picture on Facebook, which said he had been involved in a hit-and-run just before it was taken.
Officials said he was trying to gain entry into a gated area, but had failed to pull up close to the keypad and somehow fell out head first.
Firefighters had to cut the steering wheel to free him; however, it was short-lived as he was arrested on suspicion of DUI and hit-and-run.
