An intoxicated Michigan driver took a scene straight out of The Dukes of Hazzard television show when he decided to jump up and over a freeway bridge.
At 2pm on January 14, the unidentified Kalamazoo man, 25, steered his Chevrolet Impala up a highway embankment of the 142nd Avenue Bridge, which spans US 131 off exit 68 in Allegan County.
In a wild moment, the black car can be seen in video footage flying over the top of the bridge at high speed on the snowy afternoon, before arching over the other side at an angle, where the car flips.
He reportedly was intoxicated.

The man flipped his car on the side and sustained non-life-threatening injuries
He reportedly was able to crawl out of his car on his own and was assisted by Good Samaritans until an ambulance arrived. He was taken to a Bronson hospital, where he got a blood test and a medical evaluation
Good Samaritans rushed to help the 25-year-old, including Dante Johnson, who told ABC 7: ‘Everybody decided to just come out and help. That could have been the last day he seen his child, being able to walk away from that and see your kid, it’s a miracle and blessing.’
It is unclear if the man has a child.
Other drivers also helped Johnson. The man ended up in a snowy ditch, according to ABC 7, and several passersby waited with him until an ambulance arrived.
He was able to crawl out of his vehicle, according to Jessica Sinclair, who drove past the scene later on with her mother.
He was taken to a Bronson hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and for a medical evaluation to draw blood. Troopers reported that he was intoxicated.
Sinclair, who posted a video on her Facebook page, showing the vehicle turned on its side with pieces of what appears to be the back bumper on other side.

On the other side, his vehicle lay on its side as the Michigan State Police inspected the vehicle. The man was not arrested and charges have not been filed
State troopers were still on the scene when Sinclair drove by sometime the afternoon. Officers still were inspecting the vehicle, which was next to a road sign that had been knocked over.
The man has not been arrested as the Michigan State Police wait for his blood test results to come back.
‘Because of his injuries, a copy of the full report – along with a blood analysis for alcohol level – will be forwarded the prosecutor’s office for review,’ Lieutenant DuWayne Robinson told DailyMail.com on Wednesday.
