An unidentified man jumped from the Betsy Ross Bridge this morning in an attempt to escape police. Police responded to a Domestic Dispute at Griscom Street around 4 a.m. The man involved jumped into his Lincoln Town Car and fled the scene. As police chased him, the man proceeded to throw items out of the car. He then pulled onto the Betsy Ross, got out of his car and jumped, falling 200 feet onto concrete. He was pronounced dead on the scene. (Via Philly.com)
