Investigations into Suicides in Cedarburg, Wisconsin: Early on Thursday morning, a seventeen-year-old guy from Cedarburg, Wisconsin, died after jumping from an Interstate 43 overpass and into the path of a semi-truck.
The event occurred at around 6:12 a.m. under the Ulao Parkway bridge, which is located between Highways 32 and 33, according to the results of an investigation conducted by the Ozaukee County Sheriff’s Office. “A person who was standing on the road was struck by a semi-tractor/trailer manufactured by 2020 International when it was driving north on the interstate.
According to the news organization’s statement, the person was apparently declared dead at the site of the event. As reported in the press release, the preliminary investigation revealed that the pedestrian had suddenly and purposefully approached Interstate 43 from the Ulao Parkway bridge. This was found in the course of the first inquiry.
The 62-year-old Green Bay resident who was operating the truck was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was given medical care and eventually released without suffering any injuries. The inquiry into the accident required the closure of the northern and southbound lanes of Interstate 43 for almost four hours. The time when all of the routes heading north and south were open again was about 10:40 in the morning.
The youngster has reportedly been identified as a student at Cedarburg High School, which is part of the Cedarburg School District in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. The boy had experienced peer bullying and attacks, which had left him struggling with mental illness and sadness.
Reacting police enforcement officials declared the 17-year-old deceased at the site of the event. Officials attempted to gather the teenager’s corpse after the event, and although many questioned why the I-4 was stopped to traffic, it remained closed.
