Drunk Driver Dies After Driving Off A Bridge With His Girlfriend. Photos

A drunk-driver plunged off a bridge and landed his car upside down on a motorway, killing himself and seriously injuring his girlfriend. The unnamed victims were travelling at speed in the early hours of the morning, having apparently been out for a night of heavy drinking.


Traffic cameras in the city of Mudanjiang, in north-eastern China’s Heilongjiang Province, show the motorist driving straight off the bridge, crashing through the concrete barrier and falling about 16 feet onto the road below.

The dramatic footage shows the vehicle landing front end first, completely destroying the bumper and scattering debris across the road, which was relatively empty at the time of the crash.

Police officers and local firefighters shifted the vehicle onto its side and managed to free both driver and passenger from the mangled metal.

But the man was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, while his girlfriend was rushed to hospital and is still in intensive care.
