On Sunday afternoon, rescue swimmers from the Seattle Fire Department dove into Lake Union and rescued a swimmer who was seriously injured after jumping from a pedestrian bridge close to the Museum of History & Industry.
A hospital representative stated that the individual was in a critical state at Harborview Medical Center at approximately 4 p.m.
Firefighters were notified of a swimmer in trouble about 2:00 p.m. A male, who appeared to be in his 30s, submerged and did not appear to come back up, stated Seattle Fire spokesperson Kaila Lafferty.
She mentioned that crews had reported that he had leaped from the bridge, but she did not elaborate.
According to Lafferty, three rescue swimmers went into the ocean, located the victim, and hauled him to land. Following their life-saving actions, the medics transported him to Harborview.
It was a clear, sunny Sunday afternoon with temperatures in the mid-seventies. It was sixty-three degrees Fahrenheit on the nearby Lake Union Washington, where the county keeps a weather buoy.
