Utah Suspect Nicholas Duffy Jumps from Police Car at 35mph

22-year-old Nicholas Duffy was being transported in a police car after being picked up on a burglary warrant in Salt Lake City, Utah. Duffy, who police described as being high, complained of feeling sick, so the cops partially rolled down the window.

Nicholas Duffy saw this as his opportunity for a daring escape, and so he took it: Duffy crawled out the window and fell onto the interstate. The police cruiser's video cameras captured the escape attempt.

Fortunately for Duffy, he suffered only road rash, as the police cruiser was only going 35mph.

"They gave him a vomit bucket to use on the transport, on the way to jail. The officer gave him some air from the window, rolled the window down, not all the way, partially," explained Utah police Lt. Victor Quezada.

The window was open just enough for Duffy to squeeze through.
