A driver was arrested Wednesday after jumping his Dodge Interpid over a rising drawbridge on Detroit’s west side like in the Blues Brothers movie. Drawbridge operator Andre Locke said "‘No he ain’t,’” but he did


A 26-year-old Allen Park man apparently eager to cross the Fort Street bascule bridge near Miller Road at about 7 p.m. Wednesday, just as it was rising, stepped on the accelerator of his Dodge.

"I looked, I said, 'No he ain’t,' " drawbridge operator Andre Locke said to WDIV-TV (Channel 4). "Over he went, blew out tires, and then he crashed into the other gate."
