Kansas boy run over by truck h

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A 17-year-old was run over by the pickup truck he had allegedly stolen on Friday, police said.

The teenager, whose name was not released because he is a juvenile, caught the attention of police early on Friday morning as the pickup wove through the streets of Overland Park, a south Kansas City-area suburb.

Police were able to coax the driver into stopping the vehicle, but he jumped from the truck and tried to make a run for it.

"The vehicle began to roll just as the driver ducked in front of it," said Overland Park police Capt. Dave Moore.

"He stumbled and fell and the truck ran over him.

"I guess that truck didn't want to be stolen."

The suspect was hospitalised with minor injuries and police said charges were pending.

Definitely Keep: Honorable Mention
Well, perhaps so, but any story that makes me laugh is a real contender under the criteria of "amusing."
