Rescue crews respond to suicide attempt

A man jumped off the Aurora Bridge and was pulled from the water about 7:30 this morning, and early reports are he may survive. Medics began treatment near the Adobe buildings, and they took him to Harborview Medical Center. This is the third reported suicide attempt from the Aurora Bridge in just over a week. Yesterday, a Fremont Universe reader told us a man jumped to his death, and we reported last week about another suicide from the bridge.

Suicides are a big issue for Fremont — especially for the hundreds of people who work in the Adobe complex under the bridge. The state is preparing to build a suicide barrier on the Aurora Bridge beginning early next year. (Photo by WSDOT of a mock up panel installed as a test on March 29th.)
