Giants' Jaxson Dart goes viral as New Jersey toll options leave rookie confused

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart was born in Utah and played college football at USC and Ole Miss before he decided to turn pro and enter the NFL Draft this year.

For his playing ability, the location of where he was born and where he ended up playing college ball didn’t have much of an effect. Dart was a four-star recruit and turned out to be a solid football player for the Trojans and Rebels.

However, it did mean he lacked the experience of driving on highways with tolls. Utah has very few toll roads and, depending on where a Utah native lives, they may never have to use the express lanes on the interstate. Mississippi doesn’t have toll roads.

As Dart assimilates into the northeast part of the U.S., especially in New Jersey and New York, he’s learned what tolls are and how to navigate the E-ZPass system. A video of Dart driving on the New Jersey Turnpike went viral over the weekend.

"I don’t know what this stuff means – these ticket, E-ZPasses," Dart said as he approached one of the tolls.

Dart had the option of using the E-ZPass lane or taking a ticket and paying the toll as he got off one of the exits.

"I just drive by it every time," he admitted.

Dart is likely to be backed up on paying his tolls. Luckily, the rookie’s contract is worth around $16.9 million, and he’ll have enough to pay whatever toll charges hit him.

If Dart chooses to live around the East Rutherford area, he shouldn’t have many tolls to pay if he stays on the local routes.

Dart made his preseason debut on Saturday against the Buffalo Bills. He was 12-of-19 with 154 yards and a touchdown pass.

New York won the game, 34-25.

Suspects lead police on wild chase through LA while carjacking multiple vehicles, including big rig

A pair of suspects led police on a wild chase through Los Angeles Sunday night as they carjacked multiple vehicles – including a big rig – on live TV before escaping. 

The bizarre chase began with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department tailing the suspects inside a dark-colored pickup truck believed to have been stolen. 

At some point, the pickup truck came to a stop and the suspects tried, and failed, to break into two different cars before carjacking a white big rig and taking off on Interstate 5.

The suspects ditched the big rig near downtown Los Angeles around 11:30 p.m. and carjacked a white pickup truck before taking off to the Boyle Heights neighborhood. 

The Los Angeles Police Department reported that the driver of the stolen pickup truck was at one point driving the wrong way on Interstate 10. The LAPD said the suspects should be considered "armed and dangerous." 

The chase spanned the areas of Sylmar, Santa Clarita, North Hollywood, Hollywood Hills, Echo Park, downtown Los Angeles, Westlake, and Boyle Heights, per reporting from FOX 11

After about an hour, the suspects appear to have fled on foot. As of early Monday, no arrests had been made. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, and California Highway Patrol for comment.
