Idiot of the Week: Bicyclist Drives on to Opening Bridge; Almost Crushed

This week's idiot is a drunk woman on a bicycle who thinks for some reason, that she can ride over
an open bridge... here's the story and video!

MENASHA, Wisc. (WFLA) - Scary video out of Wisconsin shows a woman on a bicycle falling into an opening on a rising drawbridge.

The video, taken the night of July 4, shows the bicyclist squeezing between the lowered barrier arms of the bridge. She hits one and nearly falls off her bike but continues riding.

The woman then rides her bike right into an opening as the bridge continues to rise.

According to WBAY, it took about a minute before people nearby realized what happened and came to her rescue. Several people worked together to get her out.

The 37-year-old woman suffered facial injuries but thankfully did not fall into the water below.

Police tell our sister station WFRV they believe alcohol was a factor.
