Description
A semi truck was hanging off the Second Street Bridge between southern Indiana and Louisville, Ky. after a dramatic rescue Mar. 1, 2024.
First responders could be seen rappelling down to the semi's cab where a driver was still trapped inside. The driver was then seen in the arms of a rescuer being pulled to safety.
The Louisville Metro Police Department said a preliminary investigation revealed the semi's tractor trailer and three other vehicles somehow crashed. It's unclear exactly how the crash occurred at this time, but police said it resulted in the semi hanging over the side of the bridge.
Two people in one of the other vehicles were transported to the hospital with "serious, life-threatening" injuries.
The semi driver was also taken to the hospital, but appeared to be OK, according to police.
