When officers arrived they found Joseph Wilson, 32, of Pilesgrove, N.J. laying on the side of the road.

An investigation revealed that Wilson was darting in and out of traffic, jumping in front of moving cars. After being hit by one car heading northbound, Wilson got back on his feet and jumped in front of a car heading southbound, according to township police.
The second collision launched Wilson several feet into the air, police said.
