James River Foot Bridge

James River Foot Bridge, originally uploaded by studiofluid.

A young man died after diving off the Appalachian Trail's James River Foot Bridge.

SNOWDEN -- Travis Campbell Farren, 20, of Bedford County is believed to have drowned Sunday afternoon after diving from a footbridge that crosses the James River near the Amherst County-Bedford County line, said Maj. Ricky Gardner of the Bedford County Sheriff's Department.

The incident has raised questions about the use of the bridge for jumping, but several teens on the bridge said Monday they would still do it.


My condolences to his friends and family.

TRAVIS FARREN DID NOT DIE FROM JUMPING FROM THIS BRIDGE. IN FACT, IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE BRIDGE. TRAV HAD BEEN AN EPILEPTIC SINCE HIS JR. YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL, AND WHILE SWIMMING HAD A SEIZURE. HE WAS NOT ONE TO WHINE, AND NEVER TALKED ABOUT HIS DIFFICULTIES HE KEEP HIDDEN. BUT HE HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH GOD, HE WASN'T GOING TO MISS. HE JUMPED INTO THE JAMES RIVER AND SURFACED IN THE JORDAN. IT WAS AN HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE TO BE TRAVIS'S MOTHER. RACHEL FARREN-SHORT
