A 42-year-old Bremerton man died Sunday morning after stepping off the Warren Avenue Bridge following a single-vehicle crash, according to the Bremerton Police Department.

Police received a 911 call at 1:34 a.m. on Sunday, reporting a car parked on the side of the cement road dividing the bridge.

When the police arrived at the scene, they saw a man walking from the car.

When the responding officer arrived, the man walked to the west side of the bridge, crossed the crosswalk, and disappeared.

Concerned that the man had fallen into the water, police called for emergency assistance from the Bremerton Fire Department, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, and US Coast Guard air and water support.

At 2:01 am, the Bremerton boat pulled the man out of the water. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities have identified the man as a resident of Bremerton.

An autopsy is scheduled for later this week.
