Partier Survives Being Twice Compacted in Dumpster

After parking the truck at a nearby shopping mall, the driver finally heard man screaming from inside

An Oregon man ended his wild Friday night by being twice compacted in a garbage truck, according to reports.

Justin Gilpatrick, 27, spent the night in a dumpster to sober up after deciding he was too drunk to drive home, KGW.com reported. Gilpatrick awoke when a hauler picked up the dumpster he was in and proceeded to twice compact the load of garbage with him inside.

After parking the truck at a nearby shopping mall, the driver finally heard Gilpatrick screaming from inside, Yahoo! News reported.

He escaped with minor injuries and was simply β€œshaken up,” Police Lt. Robert King told KGW.

The reveler was so unaffected that he needed to be convinced to wait for an ambulance instead of walking away, a Waste Management spokeswoman told KGW.

Gilpatrick took to Facebook after leaving the hospital. "I have not had a drink in years and the one time I do this I what happens. I will never drink again,” he wrote, according to the Daily Mail.
