Seconds later, a fast-moving SUV rear-ends the first car, shunting it over his splayed body.
The woman filming lets out a yelp before she can finish saying “How over the top” about his theatrics.
The baffling scenes unfolded in Tlaquepaque near Guadalajara, Mexico.
Local media say the man may be a homeless person who wanted to sue the driver in a bid for compensation.
His current condition is unclear and it’s not known if he’ll face charges for staging an accident to make a false claim.
The clip was shared on social media on Saturday (12 October), as reported by Need To Know.
Jesús commented: “Having a dashcam in Mexico is not a luxury, it is a necessity.”

Carlos wrote: “Haha, I can’t believe the irony of this situation.”
And Thompson quipped: “Happy ending. He got what he wanted – to be run over.”
