This FedEx driver really delivered when it mattered most.

Garrett Nicholson, 42, was hailed as a hero after saving a suicidal 54-year-old woman late Tuesday — grabbing her by the arm as she jumped from a Tennessee bridge and hanging onto her for five minutes until authorities arrived, the Kingsport Times News reports.

Nicholson, who just completed a delivery moments earlier, held onto the woman as she dangled 40 feet above Caney Creek near Rogersville until a corporal from the Hawkins County Sheriff’s Office arrived to help hoist the woman back up.

“I was scared that I wouldn’t be able to hold her,” Nicholson told the newspaper. “Fortunately, where I work at FedEx, I load boxes all day, and you kind of get used to holding onto heavy things. I was just really scared that she was going to fall, and it was kind of one of those things that you keep praying to God for strength to keep holding her until someone arrived to help me.”

Nicholson said he dropped off a package on Marble Hill Road west of Rogersville at about 6 p.m. before spotting a car in the middle of the road and a woman sitting on the edge of a bridge. A bystander then told Nicholson he thought the woman was going to jump, prompting him to block traffic with his FedEx truck before approaching the woman to “talk her down,” he said.

After getting within arm’s reach of the woman — who “seemed pretty out of it” and had a leather belt around her neck — Nicholson said she suddenly moved forward in an apparent attempt to jump, but not before he grabbed the woman’s arm and held on with everything he had to keep her from plummeting to the water below.

“She just went dead weight and was dangling off the side of the bridge,” he said. “It seemed like it was hours, but it was maybe five minutes.”

Nicholson said the woman made statements referencing domestic violence and also rambled at times.

“She’s got a bad home life is what it sounded like to me, and at the moment she felt suicide was the better option,” Nicholson said. “Fortunately, the deputy showed up in enough time, and between him and I, we were able to lift her up and back over the side.”

The woman was then placed in handcuffs, Nicholson said. She was later hospitalized for a mental health evaluation, officials said.

Nicholson, who was also celebrating his birthday Tuesday, then made about 10 more deliveries before wrapping up his shift. He said he hoped the woman receives the help she needs.

“Problems are temporary,” he told the newspaper. “That’s permanent and nothing is that bad. I don’t know what darkness she was going through that made jumping the better alternative. I just hope it gets better for her.”

In a statement to The Post, a FedEx spokesperson said Nicholson clearly showed dedication to his job — and doing the right thing.

“We commend the actions of Garrett Nicholson, a service provider employee who went above and beyond to help a citizen in need,” the statement read.

Nicholson was also praised for his bravery on Facebook, where he was lauded as the woman’s “angel” in her time of duress.

“This guy is a bona fide hero,” one man wrote. “Well done, sir.”
