Man ran from moving U-Haul van and jumped from Navarre Beach Causeway bridge
A 28-year-old Panama City man was rescued from the water just before 2 p.m. Saturday afternoon after he jumped from his moving vehicle, ran to the top of the Navarre Beach Causeway bridge and jumped into the water.
The man was driving a U-Haul in the southbound lane and allowed it to travel to the northbound lane before he ran from the van while it was still in motion, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. A nearby fisherman who saw the man jump, pulled him from the water and transported him to the Navarre Beach Boat Ramp near Juanita’s Beach Bar.
EMS treated the man and he was life-flighted to Fort Walton Beach for observation.
