Man runs over his own head in driveway after incident with cigarette A MAN is fighting for his life in hospital after a freak accident in his driveway. The man jumped out of his van at his home in Aurora, Colorado, to avoid being burnt by a lit cigarette he had dropped down the front of his jacket, local TV reported. As he jumped out, his van kept rolling backwards and he was knocked over. The front driver's side tyre then rolled over his head. The man was transported to a local hospital and is in critical condition, though police say he will likely survive. Alcohol was not involved, they said.
