A distracted Florida driver plowed through the Flagler Bridge arm and jumped an opening as the drawbridge was coming up Saturday, WPTV reported.
The stunt looked like something out of Dukes of Hazzard, but the driver, James Montano, was not a daredevil—just distracted by his GPS. The bridge was closed five hours to repair the arm that the driver had plowed through.
"Basically, it was a distracted driver incident," said Officer Philip Salm of the Palm Beach Police Department. "The individual was coming back towards West Palm and didn't see the bridge arms coming down. It was suspected the guy was messing with his GPS."
Montano and his passenger were treated on the scene for minor injuries. The SUV was not so lucky.
