Darwin Awards: Down Under edition

This article doesn't say one way or another, but what do you want to bet (a lot of) drugs and/or alcohol were involved in this incident?
An Australian man's dare went horribly wrong when he tried to play chicken with cars on a freeway wearing only his underwear. The 18 year old was critically injured after being hit by a four-wheel drive on a freeway in the southern city of Melbourne in the early hours of Wednesday, police said in a statement.

"Police are dismayed at the utter stupidity of a man who decided to play chicken on the Tullamarine Freeway," the statement said.
I'm guessing it's going to be hard for doctors to determine whether or not the guy suffered any brain damage, seeing as how his brain obviously wasn't functioning properly before this all happened.
