She said she was driving east on 696, right near mound,

and saw the guy walking across the bridge, put one hand on it and jump over

he was hit by a huge truck carrying granite or something that was two cars in front of her

she saw the body falling,

hit

and the body parts in the air

and passed the body and it had no head...

hope that isn't too graphic or tmi, but, I am simply shocked... as is she.

 

[MONEYSHOT]

What a bummer! I just got off the phone with her..I posted about it in the other thread.
I feel bad for the trucker, he has to live with this for the rest of his life, just so gruesome. She is going to have nighmares about this.

 

[Snowbi-Wan]

Of all the ways to go, "bug on a windshield" would not be my first choice.

I feel worse for Cyndi.

 

[waxonwaxoff]

Sorry to hear about that, it freaks me out that I was in the area. I can't imagine how I would feel if I witnessed it.
Hope M-II is OK.

 

[Boss]

Poor Cindy, I know how sensitive she is too graphic details.....

So sorry you had to be there at that time...

I emailed them and gave them the details, and they replied "Our news desk has that information, but it's our policy not to report suicides.

Thank you for writing"

I should have replied back saying that it'd be nice to know so that I'm aware and I can watch out for that sort of thing. <_<

Its not like I'm asking for a name.

 

[Melly Jo]

OMG, that is terrible. I hope that she is okay!

 

[ThreeCrabs]

It's sad the guy felt he had to commit suicide, but even worse to victimize the truck driver and all of the other witnesses...That is just wrong.

I feel for Cyndi....I hope she is okay. Big cyber hugs to her.

 

[Shandog]

OMG!!!! Poor Cindy

What a horrible thing to have to see

I saw a fatality once not near as bad but still it haunted me for a long time afterwards.

Makes me want to go hug my loved ones right now.....

 

[ThreeCrabs]

Puff...you have no idea how many suicides happen in a day....Just ask any cop <_<

But its the ones that COULD involve me that I'd like to be more aware of.

The guy didn't even think of what he'd be doing to the drivers on the freeway. He could have easily caused an accident that killed others with him (like Cyndi). If you're gonna kill yourself, at least do it in the privacy of your own home.

 

[surfergirlck]

omigod... cyndi, i hope you are ok! if you need us, we're here. ((((((((cyber hug!)))))))))))

what a horrendous thing to have witnessed.

 

[Pandora]

cyndi if you have any problems with this give me a call. 586-431-4312. i went through this a year ago. some one walked in front of my car. still have numbers of good people to talk to.

 

[DawnieDawn]

I, too, spoke to Manana II, just so sad.

I also talked with my other friend who said 696 east bound is now open.

Intentionally?

 

[manana-II]

thanks for all the cyber hugs!
Yes, it was the MOST horrific thing i have ever experienced... Hoping no one ever has to see somethng as horrid as this.
What really makes me mad is that this person could have caused death for some innocent traveler on the E-way on their way home... someone who was enjoying life. Thank God that did not happen.

I do feel sorry for the 2 men that hit him

These poor men were frantically running across the expressway.. in shock i think!

 

[Evil Shot Girl]

Thank god I was about probably 45 seconds from seeing it happen. Everyone slammed on the brakes and we got all backed up. Had to wait about 45 minutes before I was able to back off the freeway. I'd rather wait than see someone jump.........how horrible. Poor Cindy!
Not a good sight to see

And like you said - nice to endanger innocent people! I hope children didn't see that, but I bet some did. There were quite a lot of cars on the freeway.
