A truck driver has been praised after parking his lorry underneath a motorway bridge where a man was threatening to jump.
An extremely distressing image which has emerged today shows a man who had climbed over the railing of a bridge over the M62.
He was sat on a ledge looking down at the carriageway.
When the lorry driver became aware of this, they moved their vehicle onto hard shoulder and parked it up directly underneath the part of the bridge where the man was sitting reports Leeds Live.
They then left it there until the man was safely escorted off the bridge.
The image has now been shared by dozens with heaps of praise being posted for the driver of the heavy goods vehicle.
One person said: "Well done to that lorry driver. Hope the person on the bridge gets the help they need."
While another added: "Trucker is a good human and deserves the utmost respect."

"This is a picture from the M62 Motorway Bridge - a passerby has posted it to raise awareness of the situation at hand.
"What people don’t understand is that to jump on the other side of any bridge - indicates something drastically wrong with their mental health. But what's next........?
"I have family who have been at this point before and still had to wait a week for an appointment when she found herself on top of a bridge - this post is to raise that awareness that - IT'S OKAY - NOT TO BE OKAY - and you can or should speak out.
"What a trucker - stopping on the hard shoulder and leaving his truck there - to ensure when he did jump - it wasn’t a longer distance to the floor."
