Raiders Fan Injured Breaking Fall Of Woman Who Jumped From Oakland Stadium Deck: POLICE
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Police praised a football fan for saving the life of a woman who jumped from the third-level deck of the Oakland Raider's home stadium by breaking her fall.
The woman, who was not identified, was critically injured Sunday after plunging about 45 feet at O.co Coliseum. She jumped shortly after the Raiders' 23-19 loss to the Tennessee Titans and as fans were filing out of the stadium.
A good Samaritan who tried to break her fall was seriously injured in the process, but was conscious and is expected to survive, police said.
"He saved her life quite honestly, at his own expense," Alameda County Sheriff's Sgt. J.D. Nelson told the Oakland Tribune. "This guy 100 percent saved her life. She'd be dead now."
