Shortly before 2pm on Saturday, March 4, 2023, a 28-year-old man exited a U-Haul on the Navarre Beach Causeway and jumped into the water.
According to the FHP report, a male driver of the U-Haul was traveling in the southbound lane and allowed it to travel into the northbound lane. As his vehicle reached the top of the bridge, the male exited the vehicle while it was still in motion, and ran to the side of the bridge and jumped off.
According to FHP, a nearby fisherman witnessed the incident and went to the location where the male had entered the water. The fisherman was able to rescue the man from the water and transported him to the boat ramp. EMS personnel treated the male subject, and he was later life-flighted to Fort Walton Beach Hospital for observation.
At this time, there is no further information on the identity of the male driver or his current condition.

When someone blocks traffic on a busy bridge and then jumps from said bridge it becomes everyone’s business.
Ppl confuse sometimes what’s wrong with ppl mentally or physically are drugs or whatever.
If the jumper is unidentified, how do you know he is 28?

He could have parked the truck, then jumped off of the bridge.
