No. He clearly got run-down by that psychopathic driver.

I think he just needed a quick nap time.

For those that don't want to give this person clicks or watch the video...

A man walks across the crosswalk in front of a stopped car. He leans on it clearly with the intention of looking hit before the car backs away from him. He then sits on the ground. The car continues to try to back and change lanes to go around him. The man pulls out a phone to call someone but flags down a firetruck instead. The firetruck pulls up and the video cuts.

One could assume it's fraud, but I guess other potential reasons could be that the man was suffering from heat exhaustion and was looking for help. That is being generous though. He could also be a vagrant.

Poor guy almost died, that psycho behind the wheel must be placed behind bars!

No but have you heard of this Australian lost surfer scam

I never ever yet have seen this type of behavior happen irl.

so my responce is.. no.. it is clickbait.
