NEWPORT, DELAWARE - December 31, 2007 -- A man was thrown from his Jeep, and then run over by a tractor trailer, but he is going to be okay. Police said a 1995 Jeep Cherokee lost control at 2:30 Monday morning while traveling southbound on I-495, approaching the Route 141 off ramp. The driver, 27-year-old James Stirparo of Shipley Road, was ejected. He landed in the center lane of travel of southbound I-495. Several witnesses stopped to assist. As those drivers pulled off onto the shoulder and ran toward Mr. Stirparo, a tractor-trailer was approaching the scene. Stirparo was attempting to get up to his knees when the truck then passed directly over top of him, somehow missing Stirparo entirely. Emergency personnel arrived on scene and transported Stirparo to Christiana Hospital where he was admitted with a head injury. He was last listed in stable condition. The tractor-trailer continued south and has not been located. The incident happened so fast, no one obtained any information about the rig. Troopers cited Stirparo with DUI, expired tags and failure to have insurance identification. (Copyright ©2008 WPVI-TV/DT. All Rights Reserved.)

I saw that on the news. They didn't hae details that he was going to be ok. When I heard he was run over by the tractor trailer I figured he was done.

The DWI is probably what saved him, getting thrown from a vehicle sober will get you killed from the shock and bracing for impact. He probably sailed head first to the pavement and bounced in a stupor.
