This brought back memories. Back in the late sixties, my uncle committed Suicide by driving off the fishing pier. It was the old bridge they made into a fishing pier after the four lane bridge was built. Praying for the family. BTW, I am not saying this person committed suicide, I’m saying it brought back memories.
Frankly, this tragic situation doesn’t make sense. 11:30 AM? … I certainly hope that an autopsy was done. Condolences to his family.
Being that vehicles are not allowed on that fishing bridge, why was he able to drive on it?
