Man falls between SR 520 Bridge lanes trying to escape police

A man trying to get away from Washington State Patrol troopers fell in-between lanes of the State Route 520 Bridge in Seattle, plummeting about 60 feet into the water below.

Shortly before 11:30 p.m., troopers were responding to a disabled vehicle on the bridge and discovered the vehicle had been reported stolen.

A man in the vehicle ran away and jumped across the median between the eastbound and westbound lanes multiple times.

On his last attempt, he fell into the water.

The man was rescued by a police boat and taken to Harborview Medical Center. His condition has not been released.
