VIDEO: Drunk hit-and-run suspect, and passenger, flop around after crash
Police in Florida released a video that should serve as a sobering reminder about who else is on the road.

SARASOTA, Fla. (WPVI) -- A police helicopter captured video of a hit-and-run suspect, allegedly driving drunk, stumbling around outside his car with what appears to be an equally inebriated passenger.

The sheriff's department in Sarasota County, Florida released the video as a sobering reminder about who you could be sharing the road with.

The video starts with a shot of the driver falling out of his car and onto the ground.

His passenger tries to help, but falls over himself. The driver then tries to help the passenger, but falls over as well.

The driver, 23-year-old Aaron Proulx, was arrested. The hit-and-run apparently caused some property damage.

Police also say Proulx's blood alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit.
