A 26-year-old Missouri man’s dramatic attempt to outrun police by diving headfirst off a bridge was caught on video.
Video released by the Stone County Sheriff’s Office shows Gavin Thor Lundgren, of Kimberling City, sprinting across a two-lane bridge before launching himself headfirst into the waters of Table Rock Lake after leading deputies on a chase during the early morning hours of July 18.
“This was definitely a first and luckily he survived the fall,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement. “He resisted arrest and deputies suffered minor injuries taking him into custody.”

Lundgren was arrested and charged with three counts of third-degree assault on a special victim, resisting arrest for a felony, resisting arrest by fleeing and careless driving.
According to a probable cause statement, deputies attempted to stop Lundgren around 1:50 a.m. after spotting his 2004 Chevrolet Malibu traveling nearly 75 mph in a 45-mph zone, according to KOLR.
Instead of pulling over, authorities said Lundgren led deputies on a pursuit before abandoning his still-moving car and diving off the bridge into Table Rock Lake.
