ALLEGAN COUNTY, MI – A driver did a “Dukes of Hazzard” style jump over a freeway bridge Thursday evening.
The 25-year-old Kalamazoo man was driving south on U.S. 131 when he left the freeway at 142nd Avenue in Dorr Township in Allegan County, around 2:05 p.m. on Jan. 14, Michigan State Police said.
The man’s black Chevrolet Impala left the road, drove up the embankment, went airborne and hit a road sign before landing on the other side of the bridge, police said.
The man was taken to the hospital for a medical evaluation and a blood draw after troopers saw signs that he was intoxicated, police said. He had injuries that are not life-threatening.
Tire tracks start near the exit ramp and go up the embankment before the car is seen on its side on the other side of the bridge, a video posted by Jessica Sinclair shows. She and her mother were driving by the overpass and saw “someone fully “Dukes of Hazard” jumped their car up and over the 142nd bridge,” Sinclair said in a Facebook post.
Charges related to driving while intoxicated will be requested, police said.
