Woman jumps from Broad River Bridge in Beaufort

                                        

Shortly after 9:00 AM, a motorist observed a woman jump into the water from the Broad River Bridge and called Emergency Dispatch 9-1-1. Sheriff's Office deputies and Burton Fire District personnel responded and, as they arrived at the boat landing, flagged down a man who was out in the water on his boat. The man immediately steered his boat to the deputies and fire personnel and offered them a ride to find the woman. Deputies and fire personnel boarded his boat, while others went onto the bridge where they spotted the woman floating in the water. The man piloted his boat to the location that they spotted her, where she was recovered from the water by deputies and fire personnel on-board. The woman was responsive when they pulled her from the water and was brought safely back to the boat landing. She was then transported by Emergency Medical Services to the Beaufort Memorial Hospital for further evaluation. We would like to thank the motorist for calling 9-1-1 and the boater for his timely assistance, without either of whom the woman may not have survived.
