Wild video captured from a dash camera shows the moment a semi-truck crashed through the side of a bridge with the cab dangling over the edge.
Newly released dash camera footage shows the moment a semi-truck crashed over the rail of a Louisville, Kentucky, bridge and was left dangling over the edge in March. At about 12:15 p.m. on March 1, Louisville first responders rushed to the scene of a crash on the Clark Memorial Bridge, which crosses over the Ohio River, after a semi-truck crashed through the bridge’s guardrail barrier and was left dangling over the water with its terrified driver inside.
In footage released by the Jefferson County Kentucky Attorney’s Office, the truck driver is seen in a split image driving across the bridge. The top image shows the truck driver, while the bottom image shows what is in front of the truck.
Within seconds, the truck crashed through the guardrail, and the driver was heard screaming until the truck came to a stop with her stuck in the cab as it dangled over the side of the bridge more than 100 feet above the Ohio River. Dramatic video then showed a first responder getting lowered to the semi-truck from a ladder and lifting the driver, identified by police as 26-year-old Sydney Thomas, to safety.
