NSW: Body found on bridge not involved in car accident: Police

SYDNEY, April 4 AAP - A woman found dead in the middle of Sydney's Iron Cove Bridge
on Sunday morning does not appear to have been the victim of a car accident, police say.

A police spokeswoman told AAP detectives have ruled out a car crash following further
investigation of the scene.

"The woman's injuries do not appear to have been consistent with being hit by a car,"

the spokeswoman said.

The body of the woman, who has yet to be identified, was found on the city-bound lane
of the bridge about 2.20am (AEST).

Police initially thought she may have been hit by a car while walking or cycling across
the bridge.

A post-mortem examination will be carried out in the coming days to establish a cause of death.

The bridge has now been re-opened to all traffic.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333000.
