A driver who thought police were after him crashed his car and jumped 40 feet off an I-85 bridge in Buckhead early Thursday, according to Channel 2 Action News.
The driver survived the jump and ran into a wooded area, and now police really are looking for him.
The bizarre string of events started just after 1 a.m. when Atlanta police officers were trying to pull over someone else for speeding on I-85 at Lindbergh Drive, Channel 2 reported.
The driver mistakenly thought police were trying to stop him. After crashing his car, he got out and took off running, police said.
“And then jumped off the I-85 bridge, approximately 40-foot drop down below,” Capt. William Ricker told Channel 2.
Police released dash camera footage Thursday afternoon of the incident.
Officers found a gun under the bridge and drugs in his car.
