oh dear, thanks again to the rescue crews. hope the woman has a speedy recovery
Does anyone know who the injured person is
The bear canyon bridge is a bum encampment. I don’t think any of us know who it is. This is not the first time this has happened,and won’t be the last. There’s a shelf under the bridge next to a 100’ drop to the creek below
Watch that first step, it’s a killer…literally!!!
You meant to say, “an unhoused human encampment”, I know you did.
Don’t know about the details of this case, but giving the amount of inebriated people around that encampment and the steep drop into the canyon below, I’m quite surprised this doesn’t happen more often. Hope this person recovers and is okay.
