A similar incident happened with a college student in NJ, only the ending wasn't so lucky. He was crushed to death. I didn't hear whether his 'friends' were brought up on murder charges or not. According to this acticle no one else was involved but who knows.

Story.

Actually, Muncie is undergoing some tough budgetary times. They have been forced to combine some of their governmental services.

This is just a combination of their "Free ride home" (for intoxicated drivers) and Refuse Collection services.

Their next planned combination is Animal control and "Meals on wheels".

Maybe pot hole filling combined with indigent burial services.

This seems to happen all the time. Lucky he shared the truck with a dead opossum that helped cushion the compressor.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A homeless man who had fallen asleep in a trash bin to escape the rain was dumped into a garbage truck and survived being crushed repeatedly before a worker saw him.

Robert Baswell, 44, said he screamed as the load of trash was crushed against his body at least seven times and was sure he would die. He tried to cushion one blow from the truck’s compressor with a dead opossum, he said.

“I screamed one last breath,” Baswell told the Palm Beach Post. A trash collector finally saw him as he tossed in a box and called for help.

Firefighters spent almost a half hour pulling pieces of trash out by hand to free the man.

“I want to find this gentleman and have him buy my lottery tickets because he is one lucky dude,” said West Palm Beach Fire Rescue spokesman Phil Kaplan.
Baswell, who had bedded down in a brush-filled trash bin Sunday night to get out of the rain, suffered broken legs and ribs.

“I’m so happy to be here, as bad as I’m hurt,” he said.
