This morning at approximately 8:00 AM the Van Buren County Dispatch Center received numerous 911 reports of a female pedestrian disrupting traffic on the Des Moines River bridge in Douds.
The female was reported to be partially clothed, and possibly suicidal.
When responding units arrived, they learned that the female had thrown herself in front of commercial motor vehicle causing the driver to stop. Once the vehicle was stopped the female climbed on top of the vehicle and was refusing to come down.
The female was eventually coaxed down by first responders and was taken by ambulance to VBCH for a psychological evaluation.
Special thanks to the Douds Fire Department, Douds First Responders, and the Van Buren County Ambulance for their assistance.
