For one minute, Laura Adams was standing on a bridge magnet fishing, the next she found herself slamming into the water about 15 feet below.
KPRC 2 obtained surveillance footage that shows why she says she’s lucky to be alive.She and her boyfriend John Marshall love to fish at the Old River near their home. On Sunday, Oct. 23rd, they decided to try magnet fishing.
“it’s just a big ole magnet on a rope with a hook on it. It picks up how many pounds? 1,320,” Marshall said.“As soon as I threw it, I saw it landed and the boat came flying from underneath the bridge, and they’re supposed to go slow right here because there’s a boat dock,” she said.“At the beginning, I was in shock but I had to turn into survival mode and just jump in and get her, but seeing her laying down messes with me to this day. I thought she was dead,” Marshall said.
The couple says the boater left before officials could arrive and speak with him. They want their situation to serve as a warning for boaters to go slow near docks and bridges. Adams hasn’t been able to work because of her injuries.About the Author:
