A 26-year-old guy from Allen Park, Michigan was apparently very eager to cross the Fort Street bascule bridge in Detroit Wednesday night. He was driving his Dodge toward a drawbridge and saw the gates were down because the bridge was going up for a boat.
According to officials, the man was high on whippets and didn’t want to wait, so he busted through the security gate and jumped his car over the gap. Fortunately for him, the bridge operator saw what he was doing, realized the driver may not make it, and stopped the bridge from opening even more.
The guy actually made the jump, but he smashed his windshield, blew out all four tires, and was arrested for malicious destruction of property.
