TULSA, Okla. — An Oklahoma woman is being evaluated in a Tulsa-area hospital after police said she awoke at around 10 a.m. Sunday in a precarious position.
According to KOKI-TV, the woman awoke on the 71st Street Bridge, roughly 60 feet above water that measured only about 2 feet in depth.
“I think there was probably some substance abuse involved,” Andy Little, the public information officer with the Tulsa Fire Department, told the TV station.
The bridge’s westbound lanes were temporarily shut down to accommodate the rescue.
A boat rescue crew was also activated as a precaution, but Tulsa police confirmed that they were able to extract the woman, who has not been identified publicly, safely. She was then transported to an area hospital but appeared unharmed, KOKI reported.
