An unusual situation on the Manhattan Bridge ended with a man falling to his death.

Police say the 25-year-old man was involved in a two-car crash around at around 1:45 a.m. Tuesday.

He ran on foot from the inbound lower level of the bridge.

When he tried to climb the bridge to get away, he fell to his death on the street below, authorities said.

Police are investigating why he ran away from the crash in the first place.
