Man gets out of car on Tobin in rush hour, jumps over side of bridge

Witnesses on the upper deck of the Tobin Bridge watched a man get out of his vehicle and jump around 5:30 p.m., according to the Suffolk County District Attorney's office.

The State Police Underwater Recovery Unit recovered his body in the water about 30 minutes later, the DA's office says, adding investigators are now working to identify him.

His death comes about 2 1/2 weeks after another man was talked out of jumping after causing a ten-mile inbound backup.
