VEHICLE CRASH: Vehicle falls off a bridge, injures two

September 30, 2010

Long Beach – Two people are in critical condition after their car fell off a bridge Wednesday night, Long Beach Fire Capt. Rich Brandt said.

Authorities said the accident occurred on the 7th Street onramp. The vehicle was approaching Shoemaker Bridge which transitions to 710 Freeway.

Firefighters arrived on the scene to see a Scion below the bridge with a man and a woman trapped inside. The car went off a bridge and fell about 40 feet onto the streets below, Brandt added.

Rescuers had to use the Jaws of Life to free the seriously injured people from the car. It took about 20 minutes to free the pair before they were transported to a hospital.

The cause of the accident and the current condition of the victims are still unknown, as the crash remains under investigation.
