Imagine cruising down the highway and spotting a car parked… with the driver fast asleep behind the wheel. That’s exactly what police encountered recently when they found a man nodding off in his car, right in the middle of the highway.
Officers tried to wake him up, and when he finally stirred, he was visibly flustered—clearly disoriented and struggling to make sense of the situation. Naturally, suspicions of driving under the influence (DUI) quickly arose.
Eyewitnesses say the man’s confused reaction and sleepy state raised immediate red flags, prompting police to conduct sobriety tests and take further action.
One officer remarked, “It’s dangerous for anyone to be asleep on the road, but especially on a busy highway. We had to act fast to make sure he wasn’t a risk to himself or others.”
Social media users quickly weighed in with a mix of concern and disbelief, with some joking about the “ultimate power nap” gone wrong.
The incident serves as a strong reminder: if you’re tired or impaired, the safest move is to pull over somewhere safe or call for help—because falling asleep on a highway is no joke.
