RUSH-hour motorists saw a woman mount the Adams Road bridge railing before she fell onto the narrow centre median of the N2 carriageway this morning (Wednesday, 9 January).
The elderly woman was seen by two motorists who were travelling west over the Adams Road bridge at about 7.35am.
Both stopped as they saw her slowly pull herself over the bridge railing. By the time they made it across the congested bridge, she had fallen onto the narrow median between the north and southbound carriageways.
When the Sun reporter turned into Adams Road mere minutes later, there were four people on the bridge, peering over the railing at traffic below.
Tow trucks were quickly followed by an ER24 ambulance in response. As some worked to marshall and slow the busy N2 traffic on the southbound carriageway, the woman was stabilised and placed onto a trauma board before being loaded into the ambulance.
Once the ambulance left for hospital, traffic quickly resumed.
