Countless times we've seen in movies and on TV people who are trying to escape from somebody, they jump from an overpass onto a moving train and get away. Maybe if you're a stuntman.

Authorities investigating the death of a suspect Tuesday now say the man tried to escape Adams County Sheriff's by jumping off an overpass near Ritzville by I-90 just outside of town.  He died in the attempt.

Authorities say initially they were pursuing the suspect driving a red car. Franklin County Sheriff's and the Washington State Patrol were chasing the man, as well as Connell police, then the man drove into Adams County. He sped up to the overpass, got out, and jumped.

Officials didn't say why he was wanted, few details released. His name is being withheld pending notification to family members, according to YakTrinews.com
