He looks to have been riding a blue bicycle along the road.
But clearly something happened to him.
In the photo, he is lying prostrate on the pavement.
One arm lies on his chest and the other out to the side while his legs stick out in front of him.
The bike lies on the ground next to him.
One wheel is on the tarmac while the other sticks up.

One Reddit user claimed to know what had taken place.
They posted: “Local newspapers found the guy, and he said ‘I was at a party, and I admit, I drank a little more than I should have.
“‘My friends said I shouldn’t get on my wiredonkey (apparently some weird rural slang for bicycle here), but I got on anyways.’
“‘I fell down after two turns.’”
It is not known how much truth there is to this story.
Another person suggested the man had enjoyed “too much palinka” - a Hungarian traditional fruit brandy.
One thought unicum, a Hungarian herbal liqueur, was a possible culprit.
Another Redditor posted in Hungarian: “It is good that Hungary is famous for these.”
