A man died last month after falling from a 52-foot bridge after a car accident on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, according to Maryland Transportation Authority officials. On April 18 at approximately 10:30 a.m., the driver of a stalled Honda Accord exited the car to check on his vehicle. While checking on his car, a flatbed truck struck the Honda, which hit the man and sent him over the bridge.
The victim plummeted 52-feet into the water. Rescue workers pulled him from the water and rushed him to Anne Arundel Medical Center for his life-threatening injuries. Doctors pronounced him dead shortly after arriving at the hospital. The victim was in his late 30s or 40s, according to rescue workers. He was a writer for USA Today newspaper.
The driver of the flatbed truck did not require medical treatment. An investigation is ongoing, and officials are asking any witnesses to the accident to contact Maryland police.
