According to CNN, a New Jersey man had jumped 100 ft off an interstate bridge near the Wanaque River while holding his two toddlers, ages one and three. The father was found dead at the scene while he two kids miraculously survived
Captain Christopher DePuyt told reporters that the children were “conscious and alert” and claims that it was “nothing short of a miracle” that they survived. What’s even more miraculous is that they are being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Police have since began an investigation looking for any tips that could help determine what happened before and during the fall.
Apparently the situation is dated back to Monday, when a domestic dispute broke out between the man and his wife which lead to police being called.
According to the wife, during the dispute the man forewarned that he was going to hurt the children right before loading them into the car and taking off toward the bridge.
Thankfully, the car was tracked through the man’s cellular GPS signal, where it was determined that the car’s final destination was on the shoulder of Interstate 287 –closer to the bridge.
We are glad to hear that life was preserved for the innocent ones involved in this incident but our prayers and condolences are with this family for it’s loss. Let’s chat below.
