Monday, September 06, 2010

A man survived after leaping from a bridge in Oakland Saturday night and tumbling into some trees and bushes below, a Pittsburgh dispatch supervisor said.

The man jumped around 6:30 p.m. from a portion of Schenley Drive that spans a ravine and runs over Boundary Street near the entrance to Schenley Park.

He remained conscious after the fall and called 911.

The supervisor said the man had leg injuries but did not know his condition. He was transported to UPMC Presbyterian.
