A person whose gender was not released to the public had reportedly fell off a railroad bridge into the Blue River on Thursday evening.
Firefighters from the Kansas City Fire Department (KCFD) answered the call for help most likely from an eyewitness who saw the person fall down into the river from a height of 20 to 25 feet.
The firefighters used a drone as well as rescue boats from the River Front Park ramp to locate the accident victim who was located in the river and taken by the rescue boat back to the ramp.
The accident victim was rescued 36 minutes after the firefighters were called to rescue the person.
The condition of the accident victim is that the injured person is stable condition but injured while the accident victim is being treated at a local hospital in Kansas City for possible fractures related to the fall from the railroad bridge.

I wonder why they picked the blue river. Maybe they had had a blue with someone, and wanted to end it all, as otherwise, why would someone be on a railroad bridge, like that.

That is a good question why the accident victim jumped off a railroad bridge to jump into a river..

That is a good question if the person wanted to end his or her own life but fell into the river by accident.
