A New Jersey woman survived a leap from the George Washington Bridge Tuesday and was pulled to safety by scuba divers already in the water conducting a search for an earlier jumper, sources said.
The 26-year-old woman suffered a broken leg when she landed in the Hudson River at about 5 p.m., according to Port Authority sources.
“She was yelling, ‘Help!’ She said it two or three times,” said Pablo Morales, a member of the team of divers looking for a man who had plunged earlier.
“It was amazing. We couldn’t believe she was alive,” Morales said. The fate of the earlier jumper wasn’t known as of Tuesday evening.
The as-yet-unidentified woman was rushed to a waiting ambulance and transported to Mount Sinai-St. Luke’s Hospital.
She was in stable condition Tuesday night.
