A police chase ended with a man jumping 55 feet down from a bridge into a river after the stolen van he was driving crushed against the safety barriers, officials said. The man was taken to a hospital and is facing car theft charges.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office said officers first tried to stop a stolen van in Fort Myers, Florida, but the driver sped off toward a bridge. There, the van was seen swerving before crashing into a retaining barrier on one side at a fast speed that sent the van to the barrier on the other side.
