BREMERTON, Wash. (AP) — The Coast Guard says a woman who jumped off the state ferry Chimacum during a Monday crossing was recovered and brought to St. Michael Medical Center in Bremerton.

The Kitsap Sun reports the woman was found in the water by two fishermen. They brought her to shore and she was taken to the hospital.

Officials say the woman was in stable condition. She told police that she had jumped from the ferry.

A Coast Guard search was kicked off in Rich Passage when ferry crew members found a backpack on the vessel. Security footage showed her going overboard at about 2 p.m.
