Police reported to the scene, and according to The Detroit News, Michigan State Police closed down the highway in each direction. Once that was done, they started getting volunteer truckers to pull their trucks underneath in each lane and on the shoulders so that if the man did jump, it was less likely the fall would be fatal. The results are visible in the photo above from the Michigan State Police Twitter account.






Freaking awesome to see, thought I'd share =]

They should put a row of barbed wire at the top of those bridge fences. Would help a lot!

The danger isn't the height but the oncoming traffic.
Was pointless to drag in all the trucks imo.
But I guess it made good news for the dim witted.

What? Person could definitely kill themselves from that height

If landing on a semi, would reduce risk of death by a ton
