Truckers’ willingness to help save a suicidal man shows the value of every human life

True compassion for life.

Thirteen semi truck drivers helped the Michigan State Police save a man contemplating suicide early Tuesday, illustrating how human life has value.

The state police called on truck drivers to line the highway below a Detroit-area overpass after getting the 911 call around 1 a.m. Tuesday.

State police closed the highway in both directions after the emergency call and organized the truckers beneath the Huntington Woods overpass on Interstate 696.

Negotiations lasted about three hours as the trucks remained parked, and authorities were able to get the man down and to the hospital for help.

Michigan State Police Lt. Mike Shaw told the Fox affiliate that the method has been used by the MSP for at least 23 years, and it has never been an issue to get truckers to help.
