A driver has died after rocketing 400ft over the San Joaquin River at 110mph after a police chase in California.
Police said 58-year-old David Callahan, of Fresno, was driving recklessly when they began their pursuit at around 8.30am on Monday.
The silver Mercedes coupe led police on a chase towards the cliff which hangs above the river separating Fresno and Madera Counties.
Witness Bryan Zollars told KSEE: 'Like at a hundred miles per hour, he cleared the whole damn river.'
quote:
Officers are working to discover whether Callahan was aware that he was going to fly over the river or if it was a fatal error.
Zulim told ABC: 'We're going to do an extensive follow-up, hopefully talk to family members and find out, if you can, what someone's mindset would be to try to attempt to jump the river.'

He did make it to the other side. Thought he won, all the way up to the landing part.

I can tell you what was going through his head, "I've done this a thousand times in Grand Theft Auto. Piece of cake."

Sounds like he did more than attempt to jump it. It was just landing he had a problem with... he simply landed on the wrong side of the car.
Evel Knievel's looking down with respect.
