''She could have killed my daughter”

A 16-year old girl has slammed her cruel pal, after she pushed her off 60ft bridge leaving her seriously injured after 'bellyfloppying' into the water.

Jordan Holgerson, who suffered several broken ribs in the horrific fall, said she "blacked out" as she plummeted into the Lewis River in Vancouver, Washington, on Tuesday.

Ms Holgerson punctured her lung and was left with air bubbles in her chest after the horror fall.

She and her friends had climbed up to the bridge with the intention of jumping but as she stood on the edge, Jordan had second thoughts.

Clearly scared as she looked down at the water below, one of her so-called pals gave her an aggressive and abrupt shove in the back.

According to The Sun, Jordan said her friend has apologised but she is still mad over the push, adding: “It could’ve ended a lot worse.”

Her mother said the Clark County Sheriff’s Office is investigating but it is unclear whether her friend will face criminal charges.

Jordan’s mum told KATU that she thinks (the friend who pushed her) should probably just turn herself in and realise what she did was wrong.

“This is not okay … she could have killed my daughter.”

The Clark County office confirmed it is illegal to jump from the bridge.
