Unconscious man rode on car’s trunk for miles

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — When police pulled over a Tennessee couple and told them a body was lying on the trunk of their car, they thought it was a joke — until they got out to look.

They found an unconscious man who had somehow remained on the trunk for about 23 km.

Driver Carl Webb told reporters he had left the Memphis in May barbeque festival before the officer pulled them over last Thursday evening.

Memphis police say in a statement that Officer Benjamin Huff noticed what appeared to be a man on the black Ford Taurus travelling about 104 km/h down an expressway and pulled the car over. After alerting the couple he woke the man, who was disoriented and did not remember leaving the festival.

No charges were filed.
