18-YEAR-OLD FALLS TO HIS DEATH OFF BRIDGE IN ROANE COUNTY
This morning just before 10 a.m., an 18-year-old male was killed after jumping off the Harold Wester Bridge on West Hills Drive in Harriman. This bridge crosses over a ravine with the double railroad tracks below. A passing train spotted the body lying in one of the tracks. On April 10, 2018 this same individual attempted to jump from the same bridge before Chief Kenny Humphrey pulled him off the railing before he could jump. Out of respect for the victim’s family, the name of the individual is not being released.
