Edmund J. Campbell, 50, of Boring, Ore., jumped from the center of the Bridge of the Gods at Cascade Locks near noon on Sunday.

Despite several hours of searching the Columbia River and its banks, Cascade Locks Fire Chief Jeff Pricher said crews were unable to locate Campbell.

The Boring resident reportedly stopped his car on the bridge near the center of the river, which also marks the state line between Oregon and Washington. According to Oregon State Police citing an eyewitness report, he got out and walked across the southbound lane to jump over the guardrail into the river, approximately 145 feet below.

The same report cites that he did not hesitate before jumping. Campbell left a note and personal identification in his vehicle.

The Cascade Locks Fire Department was joined in its search by Oregon State Police, Skamania County Sheriff’s office and the Hood River County Sheriff’s office.

The Oregon Department of Transportation also responded and one lane on the bridge was closed until 1 p.m. when the car was removed.
