Nah ...this guy is not a Darwin Awards recipient. What he did was criminal, but it was not necessarily plain ol'tired DUMB! Most winners (or even qualifiers) for the Darwin Awards have to either die or have their reproductive functions negated due to outright stupidity. E.g. the thief whose gun jammed during a robbery, and he decided to peep inside the barrel to see what the problem was - while pulling the trigger (at which point the gun decided to work). That is a Darwin Award's event.

This guy just suffered from sheer bad luck. That car could have landed anywhere, his girlfriend was in the car (thus that part of his plan worked), and he was running away. Fate just saw things different and decided to snuff the perp out.

Did he deserve it? Yes! He is a perp who tried to kill his girlfriend. However, his death shouldn't technically be filed under Darwin. A more appropos cause for his death would be Murphy's Law.

$h!t just decided to happen to him that day, and it sure took him out!
