This is the shocking moment a 16-year-old girl is filmed getting pushed off a bridge by a friend after the teen expressed she was too scared to make the jump.

A video taken Tuesday and later posted by a YouTube user named Ashley Mahree shows the unidentified girl standing above Moulton Falls on the Lewis River in Yacolt, Washington as her friends are gathered behind her.

The teen girl is heard telling her friends 'no' twice in the video, as the group rallies to get her to leap.

A few seconds later, a female friends is seen shoving her from the bridge, said to be between 50-60 feet steep depending on the water level.

Mahree said the girl is currently in the hospital.

She suffered broken ribs a lung injury and several abrasions as a result, according to KATU 2.

'This looks to be almost criminal... this could have easily taken a life, and I think this girl needs to be held accountable in some way. The person that pushed her should go to jail,' Mahree said in the YouTube description.

The friend who pushed her has been identified, but her name was not published.

The mother of the girl who was pushed told KATU: 'My daughter's gonna have a long road to recovery.

'I think that she should probably just turn herself in, realize what she did wrong. This is not okay... she could have killed my daughter.'

Clark County Fire Chief Ben Peeler confirmed it is illegal to jump from the bridge.
