Hours after a man jumped off the Wishkah River Bridge in East Aberdeen, Aberdeen Police Department personnel were called to a similar incident on the Chehalis River Bridge that prompted a response from multiple agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard.
“At approximately 11:22 p.m. (Tuesday), an Aberdeen Police officer observed a female jump off the Chehalis River Bridge,” said Aberdeen Police Cmdr. Dale Green. “Aberdeen Police officers, an officer from the Cosmopolis Police Department, and the Aberdeen Fire Department responded to attempt to save the female.”
The U.S. Coast Guard was notified and responded to the scene.
“Officers and firefighters could see the female hanging onto a piling in the middle of the river and eventually floating up river,” said Green.
