Two Texas men were killed this week when they attempted to replicate a Hollywood movie-style jump in a Chevrolet Cruze.
Louisiana State Police say a trooper responded to a call about a single-vehicle crash on LA Hwy 384 shortly after 2:00 a.m. on Friday. The department’s investigation into the matter revealed the driver of a red 2016 Chevrolet Cruze was travelling southbound when he happened upon the Black Bayou Bridge, which was drawn upward to allow a boat to pass on the waterway. A witness at the scene told police they saw the passenger of the vehicle exit the bridge, push the drawbridge gate arm up, and get back into the vehicle.

The driver proceeded to put the vehicle in reverse and then accelerate forward toward the ramp in an attempt to jump the gap in the bridge. The vehicle then became airborne before falling into the water and sinking to the bottom. Both the driver and passenger were pronounced dead at the scene. Police say toxicology samples were obtained from both the driver and passenger and have been submitted for analysis.
“The driver was unable to exit the vehicle and the passenger was located outside of the submerged vehicle,” police said.
Louisiana State Police later identified the two men as Alejandro Cazares, 23, and Roberto Alejandro Moreno, 32.
Via Google Maps
A screenshot of the Black Bayou Bridge taken from Google Maps clearly shows the section of the bridge that draws upward to allow boats to pass on the Intracoastal Waterway. It is difficult to estimate how large the section of road may be, although it does appear to be large enough where jumping it in a Cruze would be very difficult, if not impossible.

Yous guys leave Thelmo and Luis alone! They chose to burn out rather than fade away!
Best comment of the day. 🙂
Bless the sacred memory.
Contenders for the next Darwin Awards list.
they get my vote!
165 feet. Friggin’ idiots. I wanna be a fly on the wall at the pearly gates and watch them try to explain their stupidity to St. Pete. Let’s all hope they were utterly toasted when they tried their stunt.
There must have been a 200mph headwind they didn’t take into consideration.
Not even a tailwind would’ve helped them. Judging by the map and how the bridge was constructed, those two were NEVER going to make it; certainly not with 153hp.
Police are looking for an Orange 69 Charger the Cruze were chasing over the drawbridge. The Charger’s horn was playing “Dixie” when it made the jump over the span….
Or a black Trans AM
They were just amateurs I jump twice that far just last week on my bicycle
And the 2019 EPIC hold my beer story award has been given out
I own a 2015 Cruze LTZ it is turbo charged. It has ok acceleration, but NO WAY WOULD I TRY JUMPING A BRIDGE. 2 dead, I call that thinking of the heard
Are you thinking what im thinking? Aim for the bushes?
So much for the “As Seen On TV” stunts. Now they’re dead.
Texans. The best thing that came out of Texas was an empty bus.
I have the same car. Even chipped I wouldn’t do this
Everyone knows, the only vehicle that can fly on its own for 150ft is a ’77 black trans am special edition, with a cute brunette riding shotgun to offset the weight of your huge brass balls.
The Pontiac 455 super duty and Muncie 4-spd. Oh and you gotta have the shaker hoodscoop cowl vents opened up for that sweet cool air and quadrajet whoosh that sounds like a 707 taking off. Make sure you let off the gas once airborne too keep the ass end from doing a donkey kick. Hold my beer.
My 2018 TD Cruze LT has enough torque to make it!!!!
Eso es lo que sucede cuando a los ilegales se les otorgan licencias de conducir.
Not to speak ill of the dead; but these two guys were morons who threw their lives away for nothing.
That’s trump supporters for you… The only problem is it’s going to take a long time to get rid of them one dumb stunt at a time.
I’m surprised they aren’t Cabinet members. Betsy Devos family relatives.
You’re a worthless leftist POS! Clearly of low intellect, and lacking any serious depth. You should see someone about your TDS dumbass…

Hey Betsy,I voted for a republican. Cheeto isn’t a republican-he just played all you morons like a fiddle. 2 years later and he shows it every day. And you forgot to use the low I.Q.,repubtard go-to word,”snowflake”. You’re slipping,Betsy.
Wrong you IDIOT, these 2 Mexicans were probably the south of the border types Trump warned us about.
You must be another STABLE GENIUS,just like your master,Cheeto. By jumping to that conclusion that they were,”probably the south of the border types Trump warned us about” proves my point. I’ll be happy when your ilk crawls back under your rocks in less than 19 months,never to be heard from or recognized again. Cheeto has ruined the party for at least a decade and all of you are far too ignorant to realize it.
STFUp CRYBABY the only “cheetos” you have are the ones you shove up your rectum.
TRUMP 2020 !!!
MAGA !!!
BUILD THAT WALL !!!
You are going to need more meds when Trump is re-elected, so ENJOY !!!!
That’s right I second that my friend…
Another STABLE GENIUS chimes in. How do you know where they are from? Maybe they are 4th generation Texans. Cheeto “warned us about” is rich.
This thread was bad enough. Leave politics out.
You are the only idiot. Claiming these two knuckle heads were Trump supporters. You must be a dumb ass Democrat or you would not have made that gay assumption of a statement…..
You’re a worthless leftist POS! Clearly of low intellect, and lacking any serious depth. You should see someone about your TDS dumbass…

Chris – you just posted that exact same thing twice. Maybe you should see your doctor to get your medication adjusted?
Counting is challenging for his ilk. He’ll have to google “ilk” because it’s longer than 2 letters.
He knows what it means. When he isn’t commenting here, he’s out ilk hunting.
Actually, I posted it once under a reply to the Trump hater. The f-ing site decided it should post in general, and in reply…
Thanks for the comment though, and good luck on choosing your gender! ?
Christine: Are you addressing me – or are you just talking to yourself again?
Your mother knows what gender I am. Sadly,you my be my daughter.
I wonder who won the bet, probably killed on impacting the water, no seat belts?
Nicholas Cage could have made that jump with Eleanor.
