In Kentucky, a truck miraculously did not fall off a bridge

The driver can safely celebrate his second birthday.

A terrible accident occurred yesterday around 12 noon on the Second Street Bridge, which connects Louisville, Kentucky, and Jeffersonville, Indiana. Two cars, a pickup truck and a truck were damaged in the accident, and the latter almost fell off a huge bridge, but only miraculously got stuck in a fence, hanging over the water.

Rescuers arrived at the scene of the accident almost immediately, and according to them, the current situation was “the worst of all possible scenarios” and “such a case was the only one in their entire service.”

The truck was hanging too dangerously from the edge of the bridge, and in the cab there was a woman driver. It took rescue crews about 40 minutes to install the rope system and prepare a specialist to descend into the cabin, fasten the driver's seat belts and pull her out safely.

She is now in the hospital.

The bridge is still closed to traffic.
