A Santa Paula woman died early this morning after she jumped from the Cold Spring Canyon Bridge on Highway 154 in the Santa Ynez Valley, said Drew Sugars, spokesman for the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department.

The woman has been identified as Nancy Bright, 59.

Today's death at the bridge marks there second apparent suicide at the Cold Spring Canyon Bridge in just over a week, and the fifth suicide at the bridge for the year, according to Sugars.

On Sept. 30, 28-year-old Robert Silva of Santa Barbara apparently jumped off the bridge to his death.

Earlier in the day on Sept. 30, deputies were able to convince a person not to jump off the bridge, Sugars said.
