In Huntington Woods, Michigan, 13 trailer trucks lined up on Interstate 696 to prevent a man from jumping off a bridge. State Trooper Michael Shaw organized the effort after receiving a suicide attempt alert, leading to a unique and lifesaving plan.
When Trooper Shaw received an emergency call about a man preparing to jump from the bridge, he quickly enlisted the help of nearby truck drivers. The trucks parked beneath the bridge, forming a safety net to catch the man if he jumped. The plan was to minimize the risk of serious injury.
After four tense hours, the man was safely removed from the bridge and provided with psychological assistance. The truck drivers’ willingness to wait and help played a crucial role in the successful outcome.
