KANSAS CITY, Kansas — It just wasn’t his day.
A man carrying a large bag of meth wrecked his motorcycle during a drag race and then accidentally shot himself before being hit by a passing car, cops said.
The Kansas City, Kansas police department said the man was racing on his bike Thursday night when he “lost control and wrecked.”
During the crash, a gun the man had tucked into his waistband went off, shooting him in the hip. After he came to a rest, a passing car hit him and fled the scene, cops said.
He was taken to a local hospital with critical but non-life-threatening injuries.
The man, whose name was not released, had a felony record, and officers discovered a “large bag of suspected methamphetamine” in his motorcycle, cops said.
