JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – He described it as a “ball of sparks.”
A Jacksonville City Council member is among the witnesses to a crash over the weekend on the Dames Point Bridge that sent a car careening off the bridge.
It ended in a dramatic rescue with firefighters pulling the car’s driver to safety from the St. Johns River.
For District 2 City Councilman Al Ferraro and his wife, Saturday night was not another trip.
“Before we got to the bridge, she was saying, how many people have fallen off the bridge?” he recalled. “I was telling her don’t worry about this. It is safe.”
