EVERETT — An Edmonds man died March 3 after he apparently jumped from an overpass near the Everett Transit Center, police reported.

Witnesses saw the man, 29, fall from the Pacific Avenue overpass around 9:40 a.m., Everett police Sgt. Robert Goetz said.

He was rushed to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett where he died, Goetz said.

The man was not immediately identified.

Hit and run in Edmonds

A 23-year-old Seattle man was injured after being hit by a vehicle March 7.

Edmonds Police were called to the 23700 block of Highway 99 with a report of a man laying in the southbound lanes of the roadway. A vehicle traveling northbound struck the man, who then came to rest in the inside southbound lane. There is not a marked crosswalk at this location.

The man was transported to Harborview Hospital with right leg injuries and multiple abrasions. All lanes of Highway 99 were closed during the emergency call and investigation and were re-opened at 2:30 a.m. March 8.

Sheriff’s helicopter adds equipment

The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Air Operations unit recently acquired equipment that will aid in locating victims trapped in an avalanche.

A “Barryvox” avalanche beacon transceiver is coupled with an antenna that is mounted below the helicopter to conduct the search. The helicopter can cover a large avalanche debris field and search for buried people equipped with avalanche beacons much more quickly than a team on foot can.

This special helicopter antenna was purchased through donations made to Snohomish County Volunteer Search and Rescue organization.

A separate hand-held locating receiver can be used by one person in the helicopter to locate “Recco” chips. These reflective chips are sewn into ski gear and outdoor gear and are used extensively by ski resorts. This additional technology allows rescuers to search for avalanche victims who are not wearing avalanche beacons. The Recco receiver was issued to Everett Mountain Rescue organization at no cost from the manufacturer.
