(KTVI) — Police continued to search for a suspect who jumped off the Meramec River Bridge early Wednesday morning.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said troopers pulled over a man for speeding on Highway 21 near Highway 141 in South St. Louis County. While they walked to the car, the man ran, and then jumped off the bridge.
So the patrol called for help from St. Louis County just before 1:45 a.m. Officers shut down the bridge. County police and Mehlville Fire and Rescue brought their boats. Metro air support helicopters searched the water using infrared cameras.
Troopers were on the bridge shining flashlights into the water. Mehlville fire and rescue turned their part of the search over the Highway Patrol just before 4:30 a.m. Troopers’ boats were still in the water because the unidentified man is still missing.
