Even if it might seem like humanity is losing itself, some stories rejuvenate our faith in it. In 2018, more than a dozen truck drivers sprung into action in a seemingly random act of kindness. It was the dead of night too – 1 A.M. The cause was a police distress call. But what could have been the call that made so many semi-truck drivers unite?

A Common Cause For The Truck Drivers

In Michigan’s Oak Park area, the truck drivers received a call announcing a distressing situation. An unknown man reportedly stood on a local bridge’s edge, seemingly prepared to let go and fall upon the freeway underneath. The drivers, luckily, did an amazing job. They hurried over to the location and parked their trucks underneath the bridge, making the safest landing space they could if the worst happens.

Salutations From The Police

The police department in the locality, later on, raised awareness of such incidents by tweeting about them. Here they are:

This photo does show the work troopers and local officers do to serve the public. But also 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. pic.twitter.com/RBAlCIXT1o— MSP Second District (@mspmetrodet) April 24, 2018

We, as well, take this opportunity to encourage anyone in distress to seek medical help. Fortunately, for that man almost 4 years ago, unknown strangers had banded together with the police to save his life. Not all of us may not be as lucky, but help is always available.
