A man tried to drive to his death from the heights of a parking garage downtown this morning, police said. When steel wires kept his car from going over the ledge, he opened the door and jumped.
The area around the garage, at Milam and Polk near Houston Police headquarters, was sealed off and 15 cop cars and two HFD units responded.
No one else was injured in the incident, and police say they are still investigating.
