Unless the driver can prove he thought that was an unusually large insect,...or the Tooth Fairy......I think someone's going to have problems.
Extenuating circumstances though.....Short video clip never tells the whole story.......

I'd like to see the video of the forward-facing camera.........Staring straight at that guy's molars as he screams.........

I would have stopped and beat him with the opposite side off the dock plate hook....The way I see it the guy didn’t fall out of the sky & land on his hood, look how the window is smashed the driver feared for his life....

Ahh,...yes. As I said.....extenuating circumstances. Apparently this guy jumped on the hood and started to beat his way into the cab. Don't blame the driver for trying to shake him off. You ain't stopping, getting out and..."reasoning"....with this guy.......

Imagine if the nutcase did this with a family in a minivan........100 mph straight through to the Virginia state line,....screaming all the way.......

Drugs can make people do strange things..........
 
The guy driving was in his 60s coming out of delray. This nut in the underwear was on heroin. Lucky he didn't have a gun. TMZ has the whole story. At 1 point our guy jams on the brakes. The dummy almost slid off the hood ,at which point he would have been run over. There are a few more videos on the TMZ site...

Never seen a heroine junkie with that kind of energy.

If it was me I'd be calling "Canary or Muler" for some top notch representation

Sonofagun!! The idiot on the hood wasn’t wearing a mask.......and if he had broke through the windshield,.....he would’ve violated Florida’s “social distancing” rule.........
The driver was fearful that the nutcase needed a mask........and a pair of pants. So he drove as fast as he could to get that guy close to the appropriate merchandiser......
In an Emergency.........you are allowed to pick up civilian passengers and transport them to the nearest safe haven.......
Clearly the driver was concerned the man might get cold.......or maybe a bug bite on his butt....so he proceeded to a safe exit 10 miles down the road........all the while dodging Florida’s notorious insect population........

The driver was very solicitous of the mental cases’ well- being.........and, in this instance.....the only appropriate “discharge”........would’ve come out the barrel of a gun.......
 
Well..... the buses are not running.... I'm just guessing... maybe abf is trying out a new service... but this driver didn't get the memo that the passenger is supposed to ride inside..... could be the passenger crapped his pants and smelled so he rides on the hood.
 
Ok, for us old guys you'll get this, young guys go google Paul harvey. Now for the rest of the story......
Turns out the guy on the hood was Judy's personal hire as vice president in charge of monitoring the driver's camera.
All was fine till the driver hit one of them big bugs we all know or heard of in Fla. and as luck would have it, it covered the lens.
So thinking back to the contract he signed with the devil (sorry I ment Judy), to do no more then what we tell you to do.
He had no choice but to clean the lens, no matter what it took. Monday he'll be promoted to president, and the driver will get a
letter for hitting the bug in the first place.

I like that idea. Speeding up to the governed limit on the truck, then stabbing the brakes might have shook him off, who knows. God knows what the freight in those trailers looked like after this escapade.
 
Seriously though, I think the driver might be facing charges of reckless driving. Not that he should, just that he might. I wonder what any of us would have done in this situation. This heroin-addled space cadet dressed in the uniform of the day jumps the median barrier covered in blood and flags down the ABF truck. Driver stops, thinking he/she needs assistance, and he climbs on the hood and begins hitting the windshield with a steel object. This may be one case where the driver camera may save his bacon. However, it may also show how badly his vision was obscured by him and the shattered windshield to attempt to continue driving. What he did was understandable but inappropriate. He endangered himself and other traffic with this. The proper response I think, would have been to pull to the shoulder and exit thru the passenger door and get out of the truck and get away from this loon and call police or someone else would make that call for you no doubt. If he comes after you on the ground, then you have other problems. Yeah I know this is Monday morning QBing, but it is worth considering. This is similar to the Fed Ex driver driving off from the protesters in Atlanta? and wrapping the dude around his dolly wheels. I hope he doesn't get charged. It will be interesting to follow this one. I wonder if next month's safety video will discuss this. We live in interesting times. I had a couple of teenagers throw a huge chunk of ice from the sidewalk thru my windshield in a Garrett Freightlines Mack cabover on a city street in Boise one winter evening in1983. I HAD to stop. It spiderwebbed the windshield. The police authorized me to drive back to the terminal under poiice escort several blocks. They REALLY wanted the triples out of traffic ASAP. I was on my way to Ely Nevada. I swapped tractors and talked to safety over the phone for a while and cleaned the broken glass out of my clothes and resumed the trip. The 2 punks disappeared into a trailer park when I chased them. I was yelling at them to stop, but I'm glad they didn't. I would have beaten them with my bud bar I grabbed as I got out and probably went to prison.They were never caught. I made that response up also as I went and just got lucky. I was white-hot pissed.
 
Stupid stuff we have to deal with. Nobody's gonna know exactly what to do if some nut job decides to jump on a truck. We ain't getting paid enough to get cut or hit or shot.
The driver has no clue what a maniac might do if he stops.
Self defense.
At least he got to call the cops and they were there when he stopped. Otherwise he may have been assaulted.
