A man who was speeding away from authorities jumped to his death from a Houston interstate exit ramp after his car struck a concrete wall.
The Houston Chronicle reports that other drivers witnessed the incident Sunday morning.
Officials did not identify the man but said he was less than 30 and was driving a white BMW.
A Harris County deputy stopped the man for speeding around 10 a.m. after he entered a toll road.
The man sped off and the deputy followed him to the southbound exit ramp to Interstate 45.
Officials say the man's vehicle struck a concrete retaining wall.
As the deputy got closer, the driver jumped over the structure and fell to his death.

Yeah, they say it's not the fall that kills ya, but the sudden stop. What an idiot. At least no one else was hurt.

man thats horrible ...nothing is worth losing your life over by running from the cops...well in my opinion these cops over do it when chasing these thugs i know they want them and they needed to be in jail but when it comes to the other drivers on the road they need to think is it worth getting other hurt or maybe killed ..i had seen few chases and i think they should have stop it untill it was more safer ..let the helicopter watch them see where they go don't put others in danger cause you got a get those thugs ...by driving to fast thought traffic take a chance others getting hurt by cops chasing these thugs...remember the helicopter is better at chasing these thugs till they stop or run out a gas ...
