thank you, jumpnews reporter: 05.18.24, fake name, goin south, regarding: distressed female, hands on head, elbows on hood of car? message: hi there, it’s 701 pm on the dot. I am heading south towards Manatee over the skyway bridge. I saw a visibly distressed female, wearing a tie-dye dress and flip-flops. She had reddish curly hair and her hands are on top of head. Vehicle was pulled over to the right side of the bridge aside of the barrier and she was outside of her car in front of the hood. I called it in at 7:01 PM. It looks as if it was a newer light silver/light blue Honda a little bit bigger than a minivan? Did anyone to see this as well? I really hope that she’s OK and that she’s able to get assistance as she needs it. any more info is welcome. |

thank you, jumpnews reporters: 03.31.24, Chris, Tampa, (1:00pm), Was heading northbound around 1pm on 3/31. An emergency vehicle with lights flashing entered the highway from the on ramp just inside the toll booth. It got a bit ahead of me, but I caught back up with it at the top of the bridge. It was in the right lane going very slow. I didn't notice a vehicle, but in hindsight, one may have been parked to the left, and my attention was to the right. As I continued down from the bridge, I saw a rescue boat with lights on approaching from the St. Petersburg side. 04.01.24, Chris, Venice, Sunday, March 31st around 2:30pm or so i was driving southbound, had just come off the main span of the bridge. There was a shirtless black man walking on the shoulder against the flow of traffic. It took me a minute to realize that unless he was walking all the way to the St. Pete side there were no exits until the other side of the bridge. Now I don't know his intentions at all, he could well have just been walking over the bridge, but it definitely gave me pause and freaked me out a bit. any more info is welcome. |
