State police say that Reyes was driving north on the bridge when for an unknown reason he veered left and struck a concrete wall protecting the stairway leading to the ground level.

The driver's last words were reportedly, "wait a minute, I know a shortcut." or maybe not

the SUV had no other choice but to take the law into its own hands

Clearly, it didn't--but it stopped off for a Happy Meal first.

either that or a GPS failure, "turn left now," and the driver was too wasted to ignore the bad advice. Mapping error showing the staircase as a road? 25,000 ambulance chasers just perked up!

I would bet money they found cans of Bud Light in that SUV. I don’t know what it is about Mexican guys and Bud Light, but I never see one without the other. :-/

That may sound a bit bigoted, but I’ll get over it. :)

Where is this bridge? Is it the big one I-10 uses over the swamp west of Baton Rouge?
