First responders were searching for a person in the Cape Cod Canal in Bourne Friday morning, the State Police media relations department confirmed.
A helicopter unit and a dive team were actively searching the canal just before noon, according to State Police Interim Director of Media Relations Tim McGuirk, but he could not confirm if the person jumped from the Sagamore Bridge or was merely swimming in the canal.
“It’s unclear at this point how the person entered the water,” he said.
The State Police and Bourne Fire Department were on the scene.
The Bourne Police Department had no details to provide, deferring to the State Police, whose jurisdiction includes the bridge. The Bourne Fire Department had no details to provide, as crews were on scene.
