Driver Rescued From Sysco Semi Dangling Over River

On Friday, March 1st, a heart-stopping incident occurred on the Clark Memorial Bridge in Kentucky, as a semi-truck crashed through the guardrail, leaving it dangling perilously over the Ohio River.

The unidentified driver was crossing the bridge northbound when the truck shifted lanes and smashed through the barrier.

Firefighter Bryce Carden executed a daring rappel down to the dangling cab, rescuing the driver in a "once-in-a-career" event that lasted around 40 minutes.

Two other vehicles were involved in the crash, with one victim in worse condition than the semi driver.

The bridge was closed in both directions as authorities worked to remove the truck, which remained precariously suspended. The crash is currently under investigation.
