BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. (CBS Local) - A Florida man's attempt at the "In My Feelings" challenge went horribly wrong when he was hit by a car during the stunt.
Jaylen Norwood was dancing in the middle of the street to rapper Drake's new hit song when he slipped on an oil slick and was plowed over by the oncoming vehicle. The 22-year-old somehow only suffered minor injuries and still posted video of the accident to Instagram.

"It's only a matter of time before someone gets sucked into the wheels of the car or dragged or the driver who is recording it with their phone, hits somebody crossing the street," Methuen Police Chief Joseph Solomon told CBS Boston.
