Responding to the scene with negotiators, officers devised an unexpected contingency plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just after 1 a.m., Michigan State Police began flagging down semi trucks. The trucks were organized into a row beneath the bridge to reduce the distance the man would fall if he decided to jump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truckers lined up across the east-bound lanes of the highway, with police closing the west-bound lanes as more semi-trucks arrived. 13 big rig truck drivers remained parked under the overpass for several hours until the man was safely escorted to a nearby hospital by police<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The post added: \u201cAlso 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Trucks line up to help stop suicide attempt on Michigan freeway\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F7N0n598kcU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>13 Truck Drivers Turn Heads After Blocking Highway To Form \u2018Safety Net\u2019 Detroit police received a call about a man threatening to kill himself by jumping off&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23772,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23676"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23676"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23676\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44884,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23676\/revisions\/44884"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/23772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
