Drunk Man Falls Out of Truck - Drunk Man Gets Run Over By Truck


A drunk driver fell out of his truck and was run over as it rolled away when he tried to use his key to enter a gated community in Coolbaugh Township, according to Pocono Mountain Regional Police.

Raymond Vangeldren, 52, of Tobyhanna, was leaning out of his pickup truck to use his gate key at the entrance of A Pocono Country Place around 3:30 p.m. yesterday when he fell out of the truck, police said. A police information release said “Vangeldren then was run over by the rear tire of his own, now unoccupied and rolling, pickup truck.”

The truck rolled through the gate and came to rest in a group of trees. He was uninjured but was found to be under the influence of alcohol when police arrived to investigate the incident. He was taken to Pocono Medical Center for a blood test. Charges for driving under the influence are pending the result of the blood test.
