Sightseers On Dan Ryan: Man Fell On Our Car

CHICAGO -- A hunt has just ended for a man who apparently bolted from a South Side courtroom.
The man jumped off an overpass -- onto the Dan Ryan expressway-- and landed on a car.
For Alexis Crenshaw and Deane Davis, it was supposed to be a day of sightseeing downtown, but that day turned downright bizarre.
While they were driving northbound on the Ryan on Thursday, police said Reggie See was fleeing a courthouse.
See was waiting to appear before a judge on a misdemeanor criminal trespassing charge, but he was then informed by the court clerk that a bench warrant had been issued because he failed to show up for his morning court hearing.
Upon hearing that news, police said See fled, ran toward the expressway, jumped over the fence, and hopped on Davis' hood.
He apparently lost his pants as he fled, and wearing only boxers and T-shirt, stayed on the hood from 47th to the 35th street exit.
"He looked bewildered," Crenshaw said.
