3 Men Jump from Hot Metal Bridge

Rescue efforts got underway immediately when Pittsburgh Police and emergency crews were called around 8:40 P.M. with a report of three males jumping from the Hot Metal Bridge.

River Rescue officers successfully pulled a struggling man onto their boat and began treating him. 25-year-old Austin Chris Bible was transported to the hospital in critical condition where he was later pronounced deceased.
