DENNIS/YARMOUTH – A sad update to Saturday evening’s desperate search for a 15-year-old boy who reportedly jumped off the Highbank Bridge and didn’t resurface. Dennis and Yarmouth fire crews rushed to the bridge over Bass River shortly before 8 PM. A “Tier 2” request brought divers from several towns to the scene. A Coast Guard helicopter was also called and could be heard circling the scene. Highbank Road was closed at the bridge and motorists were urged to seek alternate routes. Sunday morning the Coast Guard reported that the divers had located the victim’s body late Saturday night.
