Police officers roadblocked Palm Bay Road and I-95 in all directions, causing massive traffic jams.
An unidentified man dropped off the Palm Bay Road overpass Wednesday afternoon, causing massive traffic disruptions on Palm Bay Road and I-95, in what Palm Bay Police are calling a “tragic incident.”
A statement released by Palm Bay Police Department said officers and emergency services were on scene negotiating with the individual, prompting them to roadblock traffic in all directions for safety while handling the situation. Traffic was stopped for about an hour.
This means, there was no passing traffic activity on the highway when the man fell.
According to the statement, the man was threatening to jump — until he did.
