An emergency stopped traffic Wednesday evening in Ozark.

Around 3:30 p.m., police responded to a call about an accident on the U.S. 65 bridge in Ozark. Just minutes later they received another call saying a man jumped from the overpass, but thankfully he didn't hit any cars below.

One police officer said before the man jumped. He was already bleeding profusely, but based on the evidence from the crash he said it does not appear that the blood was a result of the accident.

The man was rushed to Springfield Hospital. His condition is unknown at this hour. Traffic on both north and southbound lanes of U.S. 65 reopened.
