I kind of assumed they were dead from the headline.

The person then jumped over the railing and into the water and was observed swimming, Andrews said. The Coast Guard was dispatched and the person was rescued. His condition was not immediately known.

I do believe his condition is listed as "fucked"

Backstroking even. The casual cartoon stroke. Did anyone check if this guy is a cartoon?

imagine somebody rear ends you, then just calmly walks to the edge of the bridge and jumps

If I saw someone jump off a bridge, I imagine I'd be traumatized.

Guy wanted to bring "leaving the scene of an accident" to a whole new level. NGL, surviving a 190 foot dive is impressive.

He was just trying to hide under the bridge to bring his wanted level down

It was pretty warm today, those alluring waters are hard to resist for a quick swim! /s

a remarkable number of people jump off that bridge each year, usually trying to kill themselves.

Wrong bridge. This happened on the Bay Bridge.
