I know of at least one other, a guy who was pretty well outrunning a pursuing cop when he came to a railroad crossing being used by a passing train. Having seen Steve McQueen/ Bud Ekins in The Great Escape once too often, he pulled into an adjoining field, waited for a helpfully empty flatcar, and aimed for the dirt berm holding an undertrack culvert in place.

Happily, he cleared the flatcar, but unfortunately wiped out on the other side when his front and rear wheels touched down at the same time on the other side and he wound up in the roadside drainage ditch.

The cop was reasonably amused and not overly bent out-of-shape, and got him to the local hospital for treatment of a couple of simple fractures, but nothing serious. Even the traffic charges weren't too bad, just a ticket for running the red lights flashing at the intersection at the time.

It likely helped that the cop involved was his brother-in-law....
