Police are still investigating why the 18-year-old, who survived but broke his leg, fell from the bridge. Spokeswoman Diane Richard did not know the current condition of the man, whose name she did not release.

Police received a call shortly after 6:30 p.m. Saturday and found that the man had fallen into a group of bushes. Medics took the man to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital, and doctors said he had broken his femur, according to Richard.

Richard referred all remaining questions to Pitt officials who were either unavailable for comment or declined to comment. UPMC officials were not immediately available last night to provide an update on the man.
