What a sad situation, what would drive someone to do that is beyond me. Hopefully he found the peace he was looking for, I hope the two SAPD officers and truck driver involved can do the same...

I know this happens from time to time, but this is the third jumper here in less than a year.

to think, one of us could have been the person who just did not smile to them. or maybe we cut them off in traffic, gave them the bird, something negative we could have done. That is why i always say that smile with everyone and be happy to others. you might save a life without knowing it.

You cant really think about it like. Well actually you can but I'm going to choose to think they were just a poor lost soul that thought they couldn't back on the beaten path.

On a side note with this particular incident I wonder if he was trying to escape form the cops...even if they didn't know he did anything bad.
