Crews search bay for bridge jumper
BAY BRIDGE - Rescuers were searching the Chesapeake Bay this morning for a man who apparently jumped off the Bay Bridge.
An abandoned Audi was found in the center of the three-lane portion of the bridge about 9:55 a.m., said Kelly Melhem, a spokesman for the Maryland Transportation Authority.
County firefighters, using side-scan sonar and a state police helicopter, were searching the water around the bridge. The lane was closed for about 20 minutes while authorities cleared the scene.
Cpl. Pamela Thorne, a Maryland Transportation Authority Police spokesman, confirmed that a car was found but was tied up at a news conference and couldn't provide more information.
