Eyewitnesses say the air ambulance landed at the scene amid frantic rescue efforts. Locals report that someone had fallen—or possibly jumped—from a bridge, sparking the serious incident.
“Someone’s jumped off the bridge. So sad that people feel this is the only option to problems in this day and age,” said witness Melissa Doris.
Another local, Dan Smith, claimed the individual was airlifted to 123 before setting out.
