Thank you to the bus driver on the Aurora Bridge

TW: suicide

Southbound on the Aurora bridge at 2:45pm, a person began to climb the railings on the west side of the bridge. This is in heavy traffic, pouring rain. This person got as high as they could but then dropped back down. I don’t know if they were trying to jump off but that’s what it would look like if someone was trying to jump off.

I wanted to pull over on the bridge and speak with them but a bus was in the right most lanes and thankfully that bus driver stopped to talk to this person. I couldn’t see what came of the conversation but thank god that bus driver stopped. Didn’t matter that there was traffic and the bus takes up two lanes on the bridge. That bus driver knew what was most important in the world and did not hesitate. I hope the person on the bridge is ok.
