The force says a general patrol unit came across the man near a sidewalk at the bridge at about 10:30 p.m.

He was brought to hospital in critical condition. The Major Crimes Unit is now investigating.

A Global News reporter at the scene noon Saturday could see no sign of police activity, and noted the bridge had reopened entirely.

Anyone who was travelling across the bridge prior to 10:30 p.m. and feels they may have information, or possibly dash cam footage that could help the investigation is being asked to call 204-986-6219.
