Shoot The Gap - Two Texans Die Trying 2019 Darwin Award Winner
You cannot last long when the road beats you in an IQ test. Unlike the Blues Brothers, they lacked cop tires, cop engine, cop suspension--and a mission from Gawd.

(24 May 2019, Louisiana) Black Bayou Draw Bridge, situated six miles south of Lake Charles, was closed to car traffic and open for a boat to pass through. That drawn drawbridge presented an irresistible challenge to two Texas men, aged 23 and 32, looking for fun on Friday night. May their experiment be a warning to you, my friend.

A witness observed the passenger emerge, push up the arm of the safety gate, and climb back into the car. Then the Chevy Cruze backed up a short distance and accelerated hard up the drawbridge ramp... up and over the edge. Splash!

Little known tidbit. The I-10 bridge in Lake Charles actually is decorated with ironwork that is pistols.

A Chevy Cruze are you kidding me. 153 HP in a 1.4 liter engine...it couldn't jump a mud puddle.

My wife has one of those.  It hesitates for at least five seconds before it gives you any acceleration (if the term fits) at all.  I could pedal a bike faster.  I'd give long odds that Freefaller and Steevie are right about the alcohol.

A pretty dumb stunt but not quite as dumb as the best of the Darwins.  That one has to be the guy who, having blown one of the little tubular fuses in his car (the fuse box being under the dash right in front of the steering column) and not having a spare, replaced it with a .22LR cartridge.  Although he didn't die, he did effectively remove himself from the gene pool when it blew up right between his legs.

Here's one that you might find interesting.  Came upon it a couple of years back on YouTube.  About as funny as it can get.  It's about 11 minutes long and I don't know if the stomach muscles can take that much laughing.
