Woman Jumps To Death From Coronado Bridge

SAN DIEGO — A 39-year-old woman died Tuesday when she jumped from the Coronado Bridge.

California Highway Patrol officers first responded shortly after noon, when a caller reported seeing someone leap from the bridge.

The Port of San Diego Harbor Police located the woman's body in the water, according to CHP's Jesse Matias, who said the woman apparently drove onto the bridge, got out, and jumped to her death.

Caltrans closed the bridge's westbound lane so the vehicle could be removed, Matias said.

Matias said authorities have not yet interviewed the caller who first reported the woman jumping off the bridge.
