The incident took place in Xuzhou city of China's Jiangsu province.
A video of the incident has gone viral.
The fear
Man drank the night before, was scared to fail test
The video showed the man quietly abandoning his car when he spotted the police vehicles approaching.
After failing to get a cab, he jumped down from the overpass.
He later explained to the police that he had been drinking the night before and was afraid to fail the breath-test.
But, he was found with zero alcohol content in his blood at the hospital.
