A delivery company employee who fell asleep while loading cargo onto an airplane woke up nearly 800 miles away in Texas.

The unnamed worker, part of FedEx's ground crew, was loading a flight at Memphis International Airport early on Friday morning, when he passed out in the cargo area, according to City of Lubbock officials.

The arrival was met by airport police and staff, who determined that the stowaway did not have criminal intent.
