Hope you enjoy. He is not dead...yet.

Man falls out of moving car From staff reports

A Pensacola man was critically injured when he fell out of a moving vehicle early this morning, the Florida Highway Patrol reported.

Miguel Rogelio told troopers he was a passenger in a Lincoln car about 12:30 a.m. when he decided he needed to spit.

Rogelio opened the front right door and leaned out. The 37-year-old then fell from the car and onto the roadway.

Rogelio struck his head on the pavement.

The driver, Desiree Jamar, 53, estimated she was driving about 45 mph when Rogelio fell from her vehicle.

Rogelio was transported to West Florida Hospital where he remained in critical condition this morning.

Hasn't this guy ever heard of rolling down the window? I'd think anybody with half a brain would figure that's safer, especially if the car is going 45 mph. Thanks for sending this in, Kristy!

I concur with Bruce. Rolling down the window (or at least using an improvised spitoon such as an old soda can) would have been the smart alternative! Thanks, Kristy!
