Our lives are made better when we read about kind people who provide a helping hand to others. There are still those who are always prepared to provide a helping hand, even when it seems like empathy is declining.

Everyone was shocked and confused by what transpired on the freeway, beneath a bridge on Interstate 696 in Huntington Woods, Michigan.

Road users experienced delays due to traffic congestion, but they soon realized the wait was worthwhile when they saw why 13 trailer trucks were parked in a row, completely blocking the road without a single movement.

The truck drivers came to help after State Trooper Michael Shaw received a call about someone attempting suicide by jumping from the bridge. Shaw, a clever man, had an idea right away, but he needed help putting it into practice, so he hurried to summon a traffic officer and asked him to divert the traffic.

All of the truck drivers were more than happy to assist.

If officials and experts were unable to convince the guy to change his plan, the trucks parked beneath the bridge filled the whole area beneath it, which may prevent him from plunging straight to the ground and do serious harm.

After four hours, the man was pulled off the bridge and provided with psychiatric support, thus the story did have a nice ending.

The truckers were always eager to help, even if it meant waiting a long time.
