A Florida man accidentally achieved every aspiring stunt driver's dream when he jumped an opening drawbridge this week and lived to tell about it. Cameras on the Flagler Bridge in Palm Beach, FL, were rolling when James Montano drove his SUV through the bridge arm and over the drawbridge's widening gap.

He wasn't trying to live out any dreams of daredevil antics however, he was too distracted by his GPS to notice the bridge going up. Police told WPTV that Montano was lucky that he made it to the other side.

"The implications of what could have happened, had he hit at a different time or he hit the ramp and went over the side, you're talking about a potentially fatal accident," Officer Philip Salm with the Palm Beach Police Department told the station.

lol... I swear the GPS is going to lead us to our death. (Everytime I used the GPS it would often take me out of traffic and leads me to the worst neighborhoods in Chicago... )
