According to the Associated Press, an Arkansas man was killed when he was run over by a semitrailer in a bar parking lot near Fort Smith. On April 5, 2011, the driver exited the bar and attempted to drive home with his wife. Other bar patrons tried to prevent him from driving because they believed he was too intoxicated to drive and placed him in his wife’s semitrailer to calm him down. He found a spare key and then started the semitrailer. The victim tried to stop the man from driving by pulling the wires on the back of the cab. However, he was run over and killed. The driver has been charged with manslaughter.
