HUNTINGTON WOODS, Mich.—More than a dozen tractor-trailers lined up beneath a Detroit-area freeway overpass to aid police trying to help a man contemplating suicide. Michigan state police Lt. Michael Shaw said troopers received a call early Tuesday about the man standing on an overpass above Interstate 696 in Huntington Woods. As officers routed traffic away, they directed truckers to drive into positions to shorten the fall if the man jumped. Thirteen trucks lined the freeway as police dealt with the man. Shaw said troopers typically work with truckers during such incidents, but it’s unusual to have so many involved.
