A man in his mid-20s was taken to Providence St. Peter Hospital late Thursday after he fell from Olympia’s Fourth Avenue bridge.

Police were called about 10:40 p.m. for a report of a man who fell from the bridge onto land below it. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition, according to Lt. Paul Lower.

Lower said police found no signs of an assault or foul play.

The man’s condition was not available Friday.
