(VIDEO) Elwood Woman Injured In Fall Underneath Pony Express Bridge


An Elwood, Kansas woman suffered moderate injuries in a fall shortly after noon Tuesday underneath the Pony Express Bridge in St Joseph.

Officer Officer Scott Vanover of the St Joseph Police Department says Deborah DeSantiago, 49, fell about 15 or 20 feet from a concrete support structure of the Missouri River bridge.

She landed along the riverbank below.

Vanover says a half dozen officers, two ambulances and several units from the St Joseph Fire Department responded to the call at about 12:06 p.m. Tuesday.

In this video, rescue crews use ropes to lift DeSantiago on a stretcher. DeSantiago was taken to Heartland Regional Medical Center. She complained of back pain and some possible broken bones.
