Not sure if this belongs here but couldn't decide on a better place.
So, in this story, who's most to blame: the friends, the drunken dick flasher, or the as yet unknown hit & run driver [and it could be they really didn't know they hit a person at that hour of the morning, could have thought it was just a deer, though you would think they'd stop to check, unless, of course, they were drunk too...]
Honestly, I'm not sure who bears the brunt of blame. But I'm sure his friends will be bearing a load of guilt for some time to come...

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. -- A 42-year-old man was hit and killed on Interstate 4 Friday after he was kicked out of his friend's car for exposing his genitals to passing motorists and told to find his own way home, police told Local 6 News.
A passing motorist found the body of Kevin Steedly early Friday on the side of Interstate 4 near exit 107 at Dirksen in Volusia County.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers said Steedly was drinking inside a car with friends as they drove westbound on I-4 toward Steedly's Winter Park home.
Steedly's friends told police that they kicked him out of the car because he was pulling down his pants and exposing himself through the car windows.
"They got nervous and kicked him out and told him to find his own ride home," Local 6 reporter Samantha Knapp said.
FHP troopers believe Steedly began to walk on I-4 at about 3:40 a.m. and was hit by a car a short time later.
Minutes before Steedly's body was found, troopers were working an unrelated crash just a few feet away and did not notice the body in the grass until after 7 a.m.
Troopers are asking for any motorists with information about the incident to call the Florida Highway Patrol.
The vehicle that hit Steedly would have heavy damage, Local 6 News reported.
