THE GOODNESS OF AMERICA
Wall of Trucks
When a Detroit man attempted to end his life and stood on an overpass over a busy highway preparing to jump on April 24, truckers arrived just in time to stop him — an extraordinary scene captured with photos.
The Daily Wire reported that 13 tractor-trailers pulled into position directly under the bridge to break the man’s fall and remained in place until the situation was resolved. A picture of the scene was captured by MSP Metro Detroit and went viral.
CNN reported that troopers closed off both directions of Interstate 696 and asked for truckers’ help. Chris Harrison was one of the truckers in the “trucker wall.” He posted on Facebook about the act. Harrison told Facebook users that the police waved through six or seven truckers from the eastbound side of the highway to park under the bridge, and did the same on the westbound side.
