JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Mathews Bridge reopened Friday afternoon in both directions after a woman had a medical episode that she thought might have resulted from a package she had just picked up, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
The incident started at 1 p.m. when the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded to a distressed driver.
According to police, the woman said she thought her condition might have been related to a package ordered online that she had recently opened, so firefighters backed off and JFRD's hazardous materials team, JSO's bomb squad and detectives arrived to check out the vehicle and the package.
Police said all agencies cleared the package as safe and it's unclear whether the woman's medical condition was related to the package.
The Mathews Bridge was closed for about 90 minutes as a precaution, police said.
