A person died after jumping off a bridge onto northbound Interstate 5 Monday afternoon and three lanes of the freeway were shut down by California Highway Patrol officers.

The incident was reported around 1:25 p.m. on northbound I-5 at the Voigt Drive bridge, said CHP Officer Jim Bettencourt.

Only the fast lane remained open as CHP officers responded to the site.

Traffic was backed up about 2 miles, from Voigt to Gilman Drive, according to a Caltrans map.


Caltrans tweeted at 3:19 p.m. that all lanes were back open.

No information about the person who died was released.
