Another witness said he was sitting a few cars back from the scene when he saw something fall.

“Good people ran to help, but nothing could be done.”

A third witness said she walked over the bridge shortly after the incident and saw the tragic outcome.

“Terribly awful and sad,” she said.

“I wish it didn’t happen and that I didn’t see it.”
