I visited Martha’s Vineyard some years ago - the bridge had long since been taken down and replaced by a small Ferry (big raft) to move cars across the 100 foot or so span...and the water isn’t that deep there - one might be able to wade across.

No, the bridge is still there. They put some 6x6 wooden rails on the sides as they had none when he drive over. He was speeding down the drive and was drunk and simply went over the side of this little wooden bridge. The walk back to the ferry is a distance, as there was no ferry he swam across to his hotel, which was not far from the other side.

Thanks for the update - when we were waiting for the ferry, someone said that was where Fat Teddy Killed Mary Joe - I thought they knew what they were talking about.
