Mobile police responded to a call concerning an unresponsive male found in the water, and it was boaters who helped pull him to shore.
“We were putting the boat in about 4:30,” said Sheffield. “I put the boat in the water, and I was going to park the truck, and everybody at the River Shack was yelling at me to forget the boat and go under the bridge because somebody just jumped.”“We jumped off the boat, then got him on the boat,” he said. “They pulled him to the dock, and he was breathing. He was having a really hard time breathing.
Paramedics arrived on scene, and the victim was airlifted to a local hospital. He died from his injuries. Locals said at the highest point, the bridge soars to roughly 75 feet. They said the whole situation is rattling. “You could tell he was in a ton of pain,” said Finch. “It was pretty crazy. You don’t expect to see something like that.”“Prayers to the family and the whole situation,” said Finch. “Prayers to the lady that was watching him, that drove him up there. It’s pretty messed up circumstances for sure.”Download the FOX10 Weather App. Get life-saving severe weather warnings and alerts for your location no matter where you are.
