The sight is almost unbearable: in the American city of Louisville on Friday, a truck crashed through a guardrail and dangled from a bridge. Rescuers were certain the tractor-trailer could “overturn at any moment.”
The truck driver was still in the cab. Fire Chief Brian O’Neill told the New York Post, “She just prayed.” If the truck had overturned, it would have fallen into the Ohio River under the bridge. That would have meant certain death for the driver.
The rescuers quickly arrived on the scene. They descended from the bridge to free the woman from the hut. Thanks to effort and a lot of luck, the driver was rescued after about 40 minutes. She was taken to hospital as a precaution.
“She handled herself like a champ,” Fire Chief O’Neill said. “But I can tell you that as soon as she got on solid ground again, she let her emotions run wild.
In addition to the truck, two other vehicles were involved in the accident on the bridge. One person was reportedly in very serious condition and had to be taken to hospital. The bridge was closed in both directions. The course of the accident is still unclear. (obf)
