Timeline:
On Sept. 17, Seattle police officers noticed a stolen car and tried to stop the driver. This is when they say the driver broke through a barrier and sped onto the lowering University Bridge.
The car jumped the gap and became airborne. However, it was able to land, and the driver continued evading police.
SPD officers later found the abandoned car near Pasadena Place East. The driver, however, was not found. Authorities did not state if they believed other occupants were in the vehicle at the time of the incident.
Previous coverage showed a view from a higher vantage point of the risky maneuver as police launched their initial investigation last week.
