Whippit-huffing driver leaps rising drawbridge

Sadly, there were no cameras running on the Detroit drawbridge which an allegedly whippit-huffing driver flew over Saturday as it rose.

The operator hit the emergency stop on the bridge as it was rising because he realized the driver of the vehicle wasn't stopping. WXYZ Detroit reports the driver is a 26-year-old Allen Park man who was driving a Dodge sedan on Fort Street around 7 p.m. when he made the jump.

Shortly after crashing the vehicle, the driver was arrested.

Yee-haw!
