KAMLOOPS — A search of the river last night by police and fire crews has failed to turn up any sign of a possible person jumping off the Overlanders Bridge.

In a news release, Staff Sergeant Michel Grondin says police got a report of a person jumping over the side of the bridge just before 10:00 PM. Tuesday night.

Police responded by blocking off the bridge to traffic and a rescue boat was put into the river. But after extensive searching, nothing was found.

The suspected jumper was described as a male, about 6 feet tall, two or three days worth of facial hair, wearing dark coloured pants, and a bright blue hoodie. The man was reported as being distraught, flailing his arms, and appeared impaired and agitated.
