A total of four people entered the water in Edgartown around 11:20 p.m., according to the Coast Guard. Two of the swimmers managed to reach shore. As of Monday morning, a swimmer had not been located. In a statement, the Massachusetts State Police said: “The males did not surface after the jump.” One of the missing swimmers from the night was recovered this morning. Coast Guard crews from Woods Hole and Air Station Cape Cod are assisting local fire and police officials in the investigation. The American Legion Memorial Bridge, famous for its appearance in the iconic 1975 thriller directed by Steven Spielberg, is located on Beach Road. It connects Edgartown and Oak Bluffs. A young man who jumped off the bridge last summer had to be airlifted to the hospital after suffering a serious neck injury, the Martha’s Vineyard Times reported. Authorities told the news agency that the man thought he was jumping from a section of the bridge that spans a deeper canal. Additional details were not immediately available.
