The jumper stopped his or her westbound vehicle midspan around 5:30 a.m. and apparently wasted no time leaping from the bridge, said California Highway Patrol Officer Brad Baehr.

No one else was injured and no other details were immediately released.

The San Diego-Coronado Bridge at its maximum height sits about 200 feet above water.

My first thought in these situations (suicide, not ARS) is always the same,  "I hope he had enough life insurance."

re: jumper

It says that he wasn’t very creative, and couldn’t think of any other solution than to take his own life.  No disrespect for the dead, but that’s just crazy.
