This person did what so many of us have always wanted to do in real life.

0:29 "According to police the driver may not have been looking at the road" Great police work and reporting

[ebanks]

if that car weighs 2000lbs my wife weighs 105

"The driver didn't see the bridge going up.."

If that guy could not see a bridge, I wonder if he can see another car or a pedestrian....

As a responsible 50 year old adult.
I'll freely admit the little boy in me to this day has always wanted to try this.
Thankfully the good Lord gave me sense enough not to try it out though lol.

Came to see major air time. Leaving disappointed.

[Rybz]

I'm so accustomed with GTA's physics that I thought that the car was going to jump 3 meters into the air...

We seriously need to remove the worst 10% of drivers from our roads. This was not the first time this guy was driving while distracted. It was damn lucky he was heading into a draw bridge and not into school zone or an area where pedestrians might be crossing the street.

Damn where can i get a tahoe that only weighs 2000 lbs? That acceleration must be on point

His 2, 000 lb carbon fiber SUV Bandit Edition!

[williamsecor]

You've got to be kidding! These bridges have lights, bells, traffic arms he had to break through. He meant to do this.

[bman]

0.50....a 2, 000 lb vehicle? more like 6, 000 lbs

[mr.boostang]

2000lbs 😂 must be the lightest SUV ever

[raphaelultimo]

It's not that he didn't see the bridge, but he was already going too fast to make a stop. So he might as well have kept going full speed.

[DJfractalflight]

More accurate title:
“SUV crosses drawbridge somewhat jarringly as it starts to crack open.”

[dgreatll]

If that SUV is 2000lbs I might not be overweight after all...

[cosmicammity]

This isn't news, this happens nearly everyday in south florida.

[TheTallMan]

:50. 2000 pound vehicle? WTF! That truck was probably pushing 5000 lbs. Even a Honda Civic weighs 2700 lbs.
