    A man jumped to his death from a downtown parking garage this morning after he tried but failed to drive his car off the 12th floor, authorities said.

    The apparent suicide happened near the corner of Milam and Polk around 9 a.m., said Patrick Trahan, spokesman for the Houston Fire Department.

    No one else was injured.

    Authorities were summoned to the garage after onlookers spotted the front end of the man's vehicle hanging over the parking garage's ledge, stopped by steel wires. The man then got out of the vehicle and jumped, Trahan said.

    The incident remains under investigation and authorities have blocked traffic in the immediate area.

    Not funny, sir. :eek:

    Actually, I'm mad I didn't think of that first, just like anyone who says these types of responses are "classless." I laughed... a little.

    What an *******. Could have possibly killed more people if those steel wires didn't hold.

    I saw a guy jump from a second story ledge with a rope tied around his neck. The other end of the rope was tied to the railing.

    The rope was too long. I kid you not.

    I think second story only gets you a broken bone or two if you do it right.
