"I didn't think about the consequences": Girl accused of pushing her friend off bridge pleads not guilty to reckless endangerment
A teenager who was previously filmed pushing her fellow teenage friend off a 60-foot bridge has pleaded not guilty to reckless endangerment. Taylor Smith, who is now 18, appeared in Washington state's Clark County District Court for her arraignment on Friday, when she entered her not guilty plea, as reported by The Columbian.
The charge against Smith included reckless endangerment after she was caught on camera, pushing her friend, the 16-year-old Jordan Holgerson, off the three-story Moulton Falls Bridge in Yacolt, Washington, on August 7. As a result of the massive plunge, Holgerson suffered five cracked ribs and a punctured lung from belly-flopping into the water. Reportedly, the other injuries she suffered, included a bruised esophagus, an injured trachea and air bubbles in her chest.
