Rescue divers searching the Columbia River where they believe a motorist went off the Glenn Jackson Bridge on Sunday say they’ve located a vehicle and recovered a body.
The Portland Police Bureau did not identify the type of vehicle found or the identity of the person whose body was recovered. The agency said the medical examiner will confirm the identity, and investigators will notify family.
However, the family of Antonio Amaro Lopez have said they believe it was his SUV that lost control and went over the side of the bridge. The Southeast Portland man had left his job at his family’s Hazel Dell restaurant at about 5 p.m. to drive home, according to The Oregonian.
Witnesses said they saw a maroon SUV traveling south go over the side of the span that connects Oregon and Washington.
