A 24-year-old woman survived a jump off the Rochester-Monaca Bridge in Beaver County Wednesday, according to county emergency dispatchers.

They are not releasing the woman's name, but said she was taken to a Pittsburgh-area hospital after Monaca Volunteer Fire crews pulled her from the Ohio River about 15 minutes after she jumped.

Dispatchers said the woman jumped from the center of the bridge about 2:40 p.m. The bridge was briefly closed.

The woman's condition is unknown.
