Recovery Efforts Continue for Motorcyclist Who Fell Into Ohio River From Bridge | News Channel 3-12

On Saturday night, Boone County Water Rescue launched a multi-day search for a motorcyclist ejected into the Ohio River after a crash on the Taylor Southgate Bridge, involving multiple agencies.
Investigators report the rider collided with a stopped vehicle in traffic on the bridge, leading to his ejection into the Ohio River during northbound travel.
Search crews run sonar in grid patterns and restrict divers to high-probability targets, while two bystanders overpowered by strong currents were rescued.
Following a shift to recovery efforts, the body was recovered near the John A. Roebling Bridge Monday evening, prompting nearly five hours of bridge closure.
As operations evolve, U.S. Coast Guard and New Jersey State Police join multi-agency efforts using sonar and patrols, highlighting ongoing collaboration for future river incidents.
