"— Sean Michael Davis was hauling his life across the Sunshine Skyway bridge that November afternoon, almost two years ago. He was moving to a new home in Palmetto, his box truck stuffed with furniture. He admired the way the sun hit the water and thought about what lay ahead. — He saw her on the second trip: a young woman in her 20s with shoulder-length dirty blond hair and green velour pants. She parked her silver car on the northbound crest. Davis, 41, slowed his truck. — He watched the next 10 seconds unfold from his southbound lane. He tried calling 911 but could not get through to the right dispatcher. — There would be no time for an intervention. — The young woman walked straight to the wall, hiked her leg over the berm and was gone. No hesitation. No intervention. Gone."
