CT Driver Survives Fall From Dodge Charger Onto I-95

(AP) — Connecticut State Police say a man fell out of his car onto Interstate 95 and watched his vehicle drive on for about two-tenths of a mile before it crashed into a pole.

Troopers say they’re not sure why 51-year-old Robert Craig of Killingworth fell out of his 2006 Dodge Charger late Tuesday morning in Darien near Exit 10. Police say Craig was treated for minor injuries at Stamford Hospital.

State police say Craig fell onto the highway but wasn’t struck by any vehicles. They say other motorists stopped to help him and get him to safety.

Troopers say the car continued down the highway before striking a light pole and metal guardrail on the right shoulder.

The accident remains under investigation.

    My guess is that he fell out of his charger because he was laughing so hard listening to Sarah Palin speeches. Either that or Glenn Beck.

    He didn’t land on top of a 40 storey building, so I’m not that impressed.

    I was wondering that myself, what are the odds of two totally crazy stories being about the same car make in the same day. I know Dodge Chargers are popular, but who knew they were crazy magnets.

    Maybe this Dodge Charger did not have rosary beads as did the one in NYC that the guy fell into from 40 stories up. The owner of that car says the man was spared because of the rosary beads in his car.

    OK..what are the odds of two Dodge Charger stories in succession? One a guy falls into a Dodge Charger, the other a guy falls out of a Dodge Charger.
