who had just left Dancers Royale strip club fell out of his truck and was run over by it before the vehicle crashed into a house. Now officials want to find the man.

Troopers are looking for a man who apparently fell out of his pickup and was then run over by it when it kept on rolling before it crashed into an Orange County home Tuesday morning.

The man, believed to be a 28-year-old Casselberr­y resident, had just left the Dancers Royale strip club on Colonial Drive at Old Cheney Highway about 2:15 a.m. and was driving away when he fell out of the 2016 Ford pickup, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

He had made it less than a block down the street, then fell out and onto the ground, troopers said.

The truck then ran over his leg, then started rolling into the driveway of a home in the 5000 block of Old Cheney Highway.

It kept going until it crashed into the front of the house, injuring a 58-year-old woman inside, according to the FHP.

The man fled the scene before authoritie­s got there, but left the damaged pickup stuck in the house. Troopers found identifica­tion inside and went to the man’s address, but didn’t find him.

Investigat­ors were trying to positively identify him as the driver before releasing his name.

The woman who was inside the home suffered minor injuries and wasn’t taken to a hospital, troopers said. No one else was injured. As of Tuesday afternoon, there was no word on if the man had been located.

Troopers said charges are pending after further investigat­ion.
