Two Texas men that attempted to jump over the gap in a Louisiana drawbridge in a car died after the vehicle crashed into the water and sank.

The incident happened at around 2 a.m. Friday...

“After stopping briefly, the driver placed the vehicle in reverse then accelerated forward in an attempt to ‘jump’ the ramp of the bridge. The vehicle became airborne, landed in the waterway, and sank to the bottom.”

Yes. I meant “in the drink.” Kind of a reach, I know.
