BEFORE you ask the answer is yes - there was alcohol involved.
A man took a steamroller on a joyride and somehow ended up with his ankle pinned underneath it after losing control.
Cops in Sudbury, Ontario said somehow he'd tipped it and it had landed on top of his leg, which was severely injured by the crushing weight.
A police source said: "As idiotic crime goes this one is pretty much top of the list. He was clearly drunk and thought it was good idea. Needless to say he sobered up very quickly when it fell on him.
"It would be funny, of his injuries weren't so severe."
The man is facing charges of theft and impaired driving when he gets out of hospital.
