PART OF I-40 EASTBOUND WAS CLOSED TO TRAFFIC IN ALBUQUERQUE FOR MORE THAN A DOZEN HOURS SUNDAY. IT WAS SHUT DOWN BETWEEN CARLISLE AND LOUISIANA BECAUSE A MAN THREATENED TO JUMP FROM THE LOUISIANA OVERPASS.
IT TOOK CRISIS NEGOTIATORS UNTIL EARLY MONDAY MORNING TO TALK THE MAN DOWN FROM JUMPING. HE DIDN’T JUMP AND THE ROAD WAS FINALLY REOPENED TO TRAFFIC SHORTLY BEFORE 1 AM MONDAY.
