A man was in critical condition after he tried to flee a cab without paying his fare and stepped in the path of an oncoming car Saturday in Salt Lake City. The man, 31, was belligerent and apparently drunk during a ride in a City Cab taxi, said Salt Lake City police Lt. Dave Hoffman. He threatened not to pay the driver before jumping out of the cab while it was still rolling east on 1300 South near 800 East. He ran into the westbound lane, where he was hit by an oncoming car, he was in “extremely critical condition,” Hoffman said. Excuse me but I always thought that if a person was drunk and called a cab that the fare would be waived so that the person that called the cab wasn’t on the road drunk and driving? I guess it’s only in some cities. Anyways guess Karma bit him in the butt hey? Hopefully he’ll make a full recovery and sober up and pay his debt.
