(Meredith) – A group of truckers are being praised for helping
to prevent a man from committing suicide on a Detroit freeway.
With the help of Michigan State Police, 13 semi-trucks formed a
wall on the I-696 freeway to save the man who was considering
jumping off the overpass early Tuesday.
Chris Harrison, who claims he was part of the “trucker wall,”
said it all started with one truck, the Detroit Free-Press
reports.
State troopers shut down the interstate and helped the truckers
park side-by-side, in an effort to shorten the man's fall if he
were to jump.
Shortly after, the man was talked down from the edge and taken
to the hospital for an evaluation.
MSP later shared a photo on Twitter, originally posted by Fox 2
Detroit, of the semi-trucks lining the street:
This photo does show the work troopers and local officers do to
serve the public. But also in that photo is a man struggling
with the decision to take his own life.
Please remember help is available through the National Suicide
Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
