The 34-year-old woman who lept off the Williamsburg bridge yesterday and landed on the windshield of an SUV was conscious and talking at Bellevue Hospital. According to the Daily News, Jenna Marie Filippi of Queens stopped her car on the east side of the bridge and jumped down 20-30 feet to Pitt Street below. "I thought it was a rag doll," crossing guard Aida Mercado, who was 20 feet away, tells DNAinfo. "I couldn't even talk. I was just pointing."
"It's crazy it was so quick," another witness told the Post. "She just got out of her car and walked over by the ladder. She stepped one foot over the other and just jumped. There was no noise at all. No honking, no yelling, no nothing."
The car that Filippi landed on, a Honda Ridgeline, was registered to a police detective. The 9th Precinct is several yards away from the site of the incident, and many NYPD employees park nearby. Filippi's parents refused to comment to the Post at the Hospital, and she is expected to survive her injuries.
