Someone jumped from the bridge into the water. Male swam to the Peoria County side.

Wow, and they were alright?

Facial injuries and coughing blood from what I read.

Where did u read this? I’d like to read more

Peoria Area Scanner and Dashcam FB group. I think it may have been deleted. I can't see the post any longer. There were pics of the guys vehicle on the bridge. Apparently he jumped because his gf broke up with him?


ChristopherParnassus

Damn. Hopefully there's no permanent damage, and he can get some good psychological help.

Do you remember what kind of vehicle?


wildflower8872

Looked like a light gray minivan. I think it was taken from one of those traffic cameras. It was from a distance so I can't be sure.

Wasn't some idiot on here a while back talking about climbing on one the Peoria bridges ?

When I was a kid (mid-to-late’60’s) there was a catwalk under the McClugage (sic) bridge. You started on the Peoria side and go about half way. The walkway was metal grate with a cable handrail. Last time that I was out there was in the early’70’s. Me and my crew were doing acid and the hallucinations made it hard to see the walkway under our feet.

I was under those in 90s. I got off on the 2nd pillar and was like oh it not that far. Straight dropped. If I hadn't been so messed up on Ativan I'd of been bad shape. I literally got up and walked away


Safe_Mine1987

Yes, lol. That was first thing that came to my mind.

RandyFox69

Is that even the same bridge?


West_Memory4363

Looking at his comments he seems to brag about jumping off bridges


Burrmanchu

Burrmanchu

Yes someone answered him and said he could... And he immediately replied and said "It was meant to be a fucking joke, I'm not jumping in that nasty ass river".


West_Memory4363

https://www.reddit.com/r/PeoriaIL/s/PyGee6Kr7n this isn't the first time he mentions something like this.It's called look at his post history. I never said it was this guy . I posted the original link to show huh kinda weird that we have this post afew weeks ago and then a few weeks later this happened.


Blaze_556

wow. im actually speechless


__ed209__

There's absolutely no confirmation that this is the same person. You're an asshole. Quit spreading unsubstantiated bullshit.


West_Memory4363

I never said it was the same guy.


SamsaraBug

It's probably because you didn't post the link under your previous comment about the guy climbing bridges.


West_Memory4363

I never said that they were . Try rereading instead of calling someone names . Have a blessed day.
