One of the involved vehicles went off of the ramp and landed on Reedsdale Street below. Medics pronounced the male driver deceased at the scene.

On the bridge ramp, EMS Rescue 2 crews used the jaws of life to extricate a driver from a vehicle. The female patient was transported to the hospital in cardiac arrest, where she ultimately succumbed to her injuries.
