FOREMAN, Ark. -- A man was injured when he jumped from a car traveling 55-60 mph in an effort to retrieve a cigarette blown out of a passenger-side window.

Jeff Foran, 38, suffered trauma to his nose, eyes and chin after leaping from the car Saturday night and landing on the eastbound lane Arkanas 234 near the Oklahoma border, state police Trooper Jamie Gravier said.

The driver of the car, Jerry Glenn Nelson, 44, of Haworth, Okla., said Foran had asked him earlier in the evening to be a designated driver after a night of drinking.

"Foran did the right thing and asked his buddy to drive him home. Foran showed up at Nelson's home about 45 minutes earlier saying he (Foran) was too intoxicated to drive home, Gravier said.

"Nelson said Foran was smoking a cigarette when it blew out the window and Foran jumped out the window to retrieve the cigarette. Nelson said he was driving between 55 and 60 mph when Foran jumped out," the trooper said.

"It was obvious he was extremely intoxicated and this man was hurt," Gravier said. "If anything could make him stop smoking, this should be it. The man is lucky to be alive."

He was smart enough to ask for a ride home but dumb enough to do that??

I love these stories cause it makes the stupid things I've done seem very tame and not so bad.

Agreed. What a dumba$$. He'd been better off driving himself home.

He must have been way beyond drunk to do something that nuts over something so small.

Crazy. Lol.

I've heard of 2nd hand smoke, but 2nd hand driving kills now too! Oh no!

"If anything could make him stop smoking, this should be it. The man is lucky to be alive."

20 dollars says he keeps smoking.

And drinking.

Well if the government didn't tax them so much to make them so expensive, he wouldn't have had to do that to save his money

Watch some scumbag lawyer make that argument


This is hilarious though

I was going to say the same thing, but thought it would devolve the thread into an 8 page political debate.

You think there's a chance it won't happen.
