If he has active : Thoughts of suicide: plan with desire to act on it- then he needs immediate help. You or a relative could drive him to the nearest emergency room if he is cooperative. If not, call 911 and explain situation. He may need transport by emergency services. If the situation is not an emergency - encourage him to accept professional mental health assitance from a psychiatrist or a psychologist.
