Man Jumps Out of Moving Truck

A half gallon of vodka + a moving truck = emergency room.

They say alcohol can lead to bad decisions. On August 24 at 10:28 p.m., that’s exactly what happened after a man jumped out of his father’s moving truck after drinking half a gallon of vodka.

“The son decided he wanted to get out of the car and did not wait for the car to stop,” said Seal Beach Police Sergeant Steve Bowles.

Bowles said the son was taken to Long Beach Memorial Hospital for his injuries.
