Does anyone know about a female who jumped from a bridge last night in the Wirral area?

not another one

We were coming home on the M53 last night at about 22.10 & approaching jct.3 we could see blue flashing lights under the bridge & the matrix sign flashing '20'.
The ambulance was stopped in the middle lane but couldn't see any police cars. We had to make a prompt exit up the slip road as there was a small queue of stationary cars in the outside lane.

Don't know whether she jumped off the bridge or not.

What bridge is it...

I think it was under the Woodchurch Road flyover northbound.

Yes it was the Woodchurch road flyover Northbound, i was up there at 1am on my bike and the pavements were cordened off with police tape but the road was not cordened off,3 police vans were at the top of the flyover and about 7 police cars and vans on the motorway undrneath with lights all flashing, i also seen an old white Transit van parked up at the side of the motorway with police tape around it so i presume, if a girl did jump off, then that van possibly hit her.

(just read the bbc news link and that confirmed it)

There have been a few accidents/suicides there recently, a man phoned his ex wife to say he was ending it all and drove into the bridge last year.

10pm, I was in that spot minutes before this happened!

I was on my way home last night, there must have been 20-30 cop cars on the motor way and a loan ambulance on the bridge. I took some picks and will up load them tomorrow!

Isaw them putting up the witness appeal signs last night, I wonder if it was accidental or suicide?

I have heard she was from newer housing area in Nocturum (Hogarth Drive etc). ALso heard it was suicide, but not from jumping.

There's no flowers up, there's usually at least one?
