An Indiana father is dead and his toddler is expected to survive after the pair plunged off a bridge in an attempted murder-suicide.
The 45-year-old father left his vehicle on the Main Street bridge in Mishawaka and held his 3-year-old son as he jumped off the bridge to a toll road underneath.
A passerby tried to stop the man from jumping but couldn’t because of his loose clothing.
