Family Identifies Woman Who Jumped From US 92 Overpass
The Florida Highway Patrol said a young woman who apparently jumped from the U.S. 92 overpass onto Interstate 4 has been identified.
MANGO, FL -- The Florida Highway Patrol has identified a young woman who apparently jumped from the U.S. 92 overpass onto Interstate 4 on Sunday, June 3.
Troopers say the woman was seen sitting on the overpass with her feet dangling over the side at 6:25 p.m. She then jumped and landed in I-4 where she was fatally struck by a tractor-trailer truck.
She had no identification on her so the highway patrol asked the public's help to identify her. On June 5, family members confirmed that the woman is a 23-year-old Tampa resident who was reported missing on Monday.
