MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – When police pulled over a Tennessee couple and told them a body was lying on the trunk of their car, they thought it was a joke – until they got out to look.
They found an unconscious man who had somehow remained on the trunk for about 14 miles (23 kilometers).
Driver Carl Webb told reporters he had left the Memphis in May barbeque festival before the officer pulled them over Thursday evening.
The officer asked him if he knew there was a person on his trunk, a question that didn’t make sense to Webb at first.
“He goes, ‘Mister, I’m not messing with you. There is a body on your trunk.’ So I got out, we walked around and sure enough there he was, still hanging on, still unconscious, just laying there.”
