Man Calls 911 After 'Dared' to Jump Onto Moving Semi

34 Comments

SABINA, Ohio — Police say a man called 911 from the back of a moving tractor-trailer after he jumped onto the truck on a dare from friends, then traveled about 10 miles on an Ohio highway. In the call early Friday, 24-year-old Brandon Farmer tells a Fayette County dispatcher that it was a stupid idea and that he’s “holding on for dear life” on U.S. route 22 near Sabina, about 50 miles southwest of Columbus.

The Washington Court House man says he jumped onto the semitrailer as “kind of a joke” when it was stopped at a red light.

A Sabina police officer pulled over the truck and spotted Farmer still clinging to the back. The driver was unaware of the extra cargo onboard.

Sheriff Vernon Stanforth says Farmer had been drinking at the time and was charged with disorderly conduct.

He told the dispatcher... that he’s “holding on for dear life” I beg to differ, he was holding onto his cell phone and the semi... his life wasn't so dear before he jumped onto that trailer.. And yes, I would have muted the phone and laughed!

LOL!!! See, this is why I couldn't be a dispatcher. I'd have dared him to jump off (after I was able to stop laughing of course).

While that guy is an IDIOT, what a great job on the LEO's part on locating the vehicle quickly enough to save this man from injury or death.

Was this man a moron or what!~ He obviously didn't graduate High school, and $10 says he would do it again if drunk enough.

"Holding on for dear life" riding on the back of a semi and talking on his cell phone. Sounds like a movie stunt. No sympathy here. Yes darsavmo I made my comment before I saw yours. Bump anyway. LOL!
