The Seven Mile Bridge was closed to traffic for over three hours after a man dumped boulders on the roadway with a backhoe at the north end of the bridge. He then took the backhoe for a ride, traveling back and forth on the bridge for an hour and a half.
59 year old Carl Blahnik damaged the roadway and the sides of the bridge with the backhoe as he recklessly traveled first southbound, then northbound changing directions several times.
Deputies following him with lights and sirens had to also reverse directions several times to avoid being struck by the backhoe. One deputy’s patrol vehicle was damaged during the pursuit. Deputies finally left the bridge for their own safety, also making sure all other vehicles exited the bridge as well.
Finally, at about 1:20 a.m., Blahnik drove off the north end of the bridge and waiting deputies threw Stinger Spike strips in front of the backhoe puncturing its tires. The vehicle came to a rest and Blahnik was arrested.
He complained of pain in his shoulder and trouble breathing so he was takento Fishermen’s Hospital before being taken to jail.

with the speed of that backho the officer could have jumped out and tased him

He could have outrun the cops if he raised the hammer.
Thought he was gonna stop and bust a hole on that cruiser with the breaker.
