ANNAPOLIS - The Maryland State Police’s Medevac helicopter searched Sunday for a person who jumped off the Bay Bridge as emergency personnel tried to convince the person to come down.

The victim apparently survived the jump, but went under the surface of the Bay and was not seen to resurface, in an incident reported by Anne Arundel First Response.

Rescue workers, including some in a fireboat, worked in dangerous conditions on the Eastern Shore side as the search continued in high winds and rough water.

Eastbound U,S, Route 50 was down to one lane, with delays resulting.

The National Suicide Prevention hotline number is 1-800-273-8255. The Eastern Shore Crisis Response Hotline is 888-407-8018.
