Crews recover vehicle that fell off bridge


Eleven days after a vehicle toppled off the Interstate 275 bridge across the Ohio River during a 12-vehicle crash, crews recovered the vehicle, but it's unknown if any occupants are inside.

A crane pulled the red car to the surface around noon Saturday.

The first diver dropped into the water at 10 a.m. to recover the car, according to Capt. Dale Appel, team director of the Boone County Water Rescue Team.

He said the car was surrounded by debris and is 90 percent full of silt and sand.

Initially, the divers couldn't see clearly underwater and were relying on their sense of touch to navigate.

This reminds me of the case of the two Nebraska teens lost in flood waters last year. RIP to all the deceased.

You can really see how high the bridge is in those pics (and video) and how far the car fell... sickening. RIP sir.

Rest in peace, David.

The victim was identified Sunday as David James Bouma of Milford, Ohio, after an autopsy by the State Medical Examiner's Office in Frankfort, Kentucky.
The cause of death was determined to be head trauma, according to autopsy results. Campbell County Coroner Al Garnick said officials don't believe he drowned.

I hope it is okay to post the link to his obituary. If not, I apologize. I just wanted to put a face with this news as a tribute to David Bouma. I feel so sorry for this man and his family. It was such a terrible, freak accident.

Thank you for that Janet!

Sweet looking man. I'm glad he did not drown, apparently was knocked out on impact and passed immediately.

What a shock for the family it must be.
