Everybody Was Skyway Jumping

2005_12_skyway.jpgWhat would you do to avoid being caught drunk driving? How about jump off the Chicago Skyway? That's what Minh Van Hua did on Tuesday night.

Van Hua ran from his car when police pulled him over. He then climbed over the guardrail and ran down a grassy embarkment before jumping down 15 feet to a side street. The fall knocked him unconscious so it must have been pretty easy for the cops to get down there and arrest him.

Van Hua is now in the hospital in stable condition.. but he's cited for driving under the influence of alcohol.. and using a cell phone without an earpiece? Way to tack that one on.
