A suspected drunk driver fell out of his pickup truck moments before running himself over after leaving a strip club in Florida, surveillance video shows.

Williams Robert Edwards, 28, is seen leaving the Dancers Royale strip club in Orlando at about 2:15 a.m. on Oct. 25 when security guards from the club try to stop him from driving away. But Edwards stepped on the gas and made a hard right turn while pulling out of the parking spot, launching himself out of the truck. The vehicle then rolled over his legs, the video shows.

The truck then crashed into a nearby home, injuring Barbara Hernandez, 58, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Edwards ran off on foot, leaving his damaged white 2016 Ford pickup behind.

Adrean Larrea said his mother was sleeping when Edwards’ truck crashed into her bedroom and claims a nearby ditch that slowed the truck down saved her life.

Darwin only applies if the subject is unable to reproduce after the incident. For example he/she is dead or reproductive organs have been lost. Neither applies in this case, apparently.

Watch the video, he didn't even break a bone.

Ran over his legs yet he was able to run away? What was he driving, a Matchbox car?
