LOOK: Stunt driver jumps General Lee over the town square fountain in Somerset
Them Duke boys were at it again on Saturday…
At the Somernites Cruise festival in Somerset, KY, one brave stunt driver by the name of Raymond Kohn hopped in a General Lee replica and jumped 150 feet over/through the town’s Fountain Square. It’s a video you have to see to believe — and people on social media were posting it from every possible angle.
With thousands upon thousands in attendance for the 25th annual Somernites Cruise, known as the official car cruise capital of Kentucky, the “Dukes of Hazzard”-inspired 1969 Dodge Charger flew off the ramp, barrelled through the fountain’s bright blue water, and successfully (for the most part, at least) landed the vehicle on the other side.

The General Lee suffered some bumps and bruises on the way down, but the man inside came out of it just fine.
According to the New York Post, this was Kohn’s 30th successful jump stunt with the General Lee. His personal record once saw him soar 217 feet in the air. Some of the stars from the “Dukes of Hazzard” television show were also in attendance at the festival, including John Schneider, who played Bo Duke.
Sounds like a perfect way to spend a summer Saturday in Kentucky, if you ask me.
