A female transient tried to kill herself by jumping off the Eighth Street overpass of Interstate 8 on Tuesday, according to the El Centro police.
Witnesses reported seeing a Hispanic female jump off the overpass and onto the interstate, while other witnesses driving on I-8 reported seeing the 40-year-old woman hit the pavement and crawl to the shoulder of the road, El Centro police Sgt. Jeff Mason reported.
"The female was alert and communicating with others" when they arrived on scene, Mason said.
The woman was airlifted to a San Diego hospital with head injuries, but her condition this morning was not available, Mason said.
