hello all,

don't know if anybody has seen this. Begining of this week ther was a news story here in portland,or about someone losing control and going off one of our bridges. The story is that a woman was going across one of our steel grated bridges that was wet from a recent rain storm. She started to slip and over corrected which caused her to get traction. unfortnatuly(SP?) straight at the guardrail, which she went through and fell 45 feet to the river, then 50 feet to the bottom of the river. She luckly got loose from her sealtbelt and was able to float to the surface. She escaped with only a few bumps and bruises, not major injuries. The vehicle she was driving... a 2001 rodeo sport. here is one of the news stations website to show what it looks like after they pulled it back up.
