A teenager who suffered injuries after plummeting from a bridge on Mukilteo Boulevard near Edgewater Park on Wednesday is expected to survive, police said Thursday.

The 17-year-old was spotted by an off-duty Everett police sergeant about 6:30 p.m.

He was taken to a local hospital after Everett firefighters used safety ropes to haul the boy out of a ravine.

The bridge is at least 75 feet above where the boy landed.
