Man found dead on Williamsburg Bridge, may have been hit by car

WILLIAMSBURG BRIDGE, New York (WABC) -- A man was discovered dead on the Williamsburg Bridge Tuesday morning, possibly struck by a passing vehicle.

The 31-year-old man was found on the eastbound outer roadway just after 6 a.m.

Authorities say it appears he either jumped or fell onto the roadway from above, and it is unclear if he was struck by a car at that point.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

All lanes were closed causing commuter delays.
