A teenager has been taken to hospital after falling off a bridge near the 401 in Odessa.

Lennox and Addington OPP stated officers were informed of a “distraught person” at the highway overpass on Old Wilton Road shortly after 3 a.m. Saturday.

Officers reportedly attempted to approach the 18-year old from Odessa, but she had fallen from the bridge.

The individual was taken to hospital with what police described as life-threatening injuries.

The highway was closed for a time but has since been reopened.

The SIU has been notified by the OPP of this incident and has invoked its mandate to take over the case.
