We have a late entry for this year's Darwin Award. Twenty-eight year old Frankie Crawford became enraged when his dog ran into the street and was struck by a 16 year old driver of a pickup truck.
Crawford then began arguing with the 16-year-old driver and her parents, who were passengers.You can guess what happened next. Crawford suffered second degree burns over 70% of his body and was pronounced dead at the hospital. The girl's father tried putting out the flames (probably with a baseball bat) at the scene.The father called 911. A dispatcher told the family to leave the scene because Crawford was apparently out of control.
The teen drove about two blocks before Crawford somehow jumped into the truck bed, found a can of paint thinner and began dousing the truck, said Sgt. Marco Borboa, a police spokesman.

Sigh.
I have no witty or snappy comment. I'm just completely flummoxed by the sheer stupidity of Crawford.
