Driver jumps car over overpass 'Dukes' style (video)
Reportedly, the 25 year old driver was drunk and had a criminal driving record. There was a truck pulling a trailer at the off-ramp stop sign that had just made a right hand turn away from the 'flight' but would most likely have been impacted if he had turned left.
The overpass is reported to be busy with a lot of traffic, including a lot of gravel trucks, but thankfully there was a gap in traffic at the moment he went airborne.
Driver climbed out the back window of the wreck with nothing more than a gash on his head and was talking to those who stopped to help.

And a Gold Wing rider fails to make the jump on the Main Street Bridge in Daytona. Had to be alcohol involved here too. The guy survived I guess, was clinging to his bike when he was rescued. https://www.clickorlando.com/t...e-dangling-off-side/

Due needs more practice, if you don't stick the landing the jump doesn't count.
I've stopped counting.

That almost looks like it could be in my neck of the woods but the patrol car at the scene is not Minnesota. Michigan maybe? Anyway the dudes got a awesome video to go along with his story!

Maybe they will rename the street 'Hazzard Drive'?

Well, because I watched the video in the OP a few times, YouTube is now pumping similar car jump videos my way. Figured I might as well roll with it, so you guys get a bonus video.
Not as impressive as the first one, but entertaining nonetheless.
