78-year-old Marjorie Harry Orr lost her life on Saturday morning after the vehicle she was in plunged off a bridge into a river in Richmond.
Orr was traveling with her husband, Hugh Orr, when the car veered off the roadway and fell into the water below. Emergency responders arrived swiftly at the scene, pulling both occupants from the submerged vehicle. Rescuers attempted CPR repeatedly in an effort to revive Mrs. Orr, but she was later pronounced dead while receiving treatment at the hospital.
In a heart-wrenching moment witnessed by those on the scene, Hugh Orr, despite being injured, was seen reaching out to cradle his wife's face, desperately hoping she would survive. He remains hospitalised as of Sunday, and his condition is being monitored.
