Name withheld by police

How they died

Suicide

A deputy noticed a other stopped about 8:30 a.m. in the northbound lane of U.S. 11. The car, a 1994 Nissan, occupied by a lone man, switched into the southbound lane when the deputy approached. The driver of the Nissan ignored the patrol car's police lights and fled at speeds approaching 75 mph. Deputies near the U.S. 60 interchange used "stop sticks" to blow out the tires on the Nissan. Once the Nissan was disabled, police said, the driver pulled the car onto the emergency shoulder on the Maury River bridge. He got out, ran to the railing and jumped over the side. He fell approximately 54 feet, landed on his back and was killed.
