2 Texas men die trying to jump car over open drawbridge

Beau and Luke Duke these two were not.

Two Texas men died Friday after they tried to jump over an open drawbridge with their car, authorities said.

Louisiana State Police responded to a single-car crash shortly after 2 a.m. at the Black Bayou Bridge about six miles south of Lake Charles. Investigators said the bridge was closed to traffic to let a boat pass.

A witness told police that the passenger got out of the car and pushed the gate arm up. The man then got back into the car as the driver drove toward the ramp at the end of the bridge, the police department said in a press release on its Facebook page.

In what appears to look like a small Chevy.  Trully an Evil Knevil stunt with a mini-bike no less.

Folks I think we have new front-runners for this year's Darwin Awards, and of course, I am sure alcohol wasn't involved.   :cool:

I'm going to go out on a limb here,and guess that alcohol and drugs were involved in their decision-making process.

Not to mention the circumstances that led to them being conceived.
