16-Year-Old Describes Bridge Fall

16-year-old Jordan Holgerson is recovering from five broke ribs and a punctured lung. She suffered those injuries after being pushed off the Moulton Falls Bridge over the Lewis River.

Holgerson was on the bridge with friends and wasn't prepared to jump when she was pushed. 

She fell out of control and says she tried to straighten up before hitting the water and then blacked out.

After hitting the water, she says she couldn't breathe. 

An off duty EMT was on shore and helped her get to the shore. 

Holgerson said, "I could have died easily, but I didn't."

The video of her fall has gone viral and she says it's flooding her phone with hundreds of messages.
