ROSEVILLE, Mich. -- A police video camera captured images of a 24-year-old Detroit-area man who tried using his feet to stop a runaway pickup truck with faulty brakes and caused multiple collisions, exhibiting "moronic decision making," a Roseville police official said Thursday.
After the vehicle's brakes failed on a busy street in Roseville, about two miles north of Detroit, the man continued driving and stuck his feet outside the car to stop it, Roseville Deputy Police Chief James Berlin said.
Witnesses said the man reached speeds of about 40 mph and was able to stop the car on at least two occasions. The car eventually struck four vehicles.
"This guy's no rocket scientist," Berlin said. "Citizens were calling in saying this guy is all over the road, using his feet."
Moronic? No Rocket Scientist? Excuse me Officer Farva, what the fuck did you want him to do? Guy's got no breaks, he can't just play bumper cars all the way home. Guy should be called a hero, not a moron. If my breaks run out you can bet your bottom dollar that the last thing I'm doing is trying to stop my car with my Nikes. This guy is selfless, taking one for the team and ruining his Nikes so he hits as few cars as possible. Cut the guy some slack you asshole. Typical cop move though, busting heroes like this, while murderers and rapers roam the streets.
