“This is a once in a career type of thing … it’s extremely lucky that the entire truck didn’t go into the river.”
At around noon on Friday, a semi truck was found dangling off the edge of the Second Street Bridge, according to the Louisville Fire Department in Kentucky.
The female driver of the semi truck, who the fire department said was very calm, was inside the dangling truck for about 40 minutes before she was safely rescued by a member of the fire department.

What experience has this driver in the first place ?
This happened every week on 'EMERGENCY' and 'CHiPs'.
Oooh, God is tryin to remind you of something hUGE, YOU GOT A MISSION NOW GIRL❤
Guys britches were blue when he left home snd brown when he came back.
Dam truck drivers back at it again
Just another day at the office.
thats a bunch of restaurants food right there lol
I bet that driver had to change shorts after that ride.
Bet he did not wake up expecting a day like this,amazing these HEROS doing this with families&
children of their own,,,HOW WAS WORK HONEY,AH,JUST ANOTHER DAY
That camera work is making me dizzy! Hope the driver is ok. I couldn’t finish watching the footage.
Blessings and goodness to all of you and yours ✨️Thank you for being you! We can't make it through our day without any of you. 🦺🚛🚑🚒🚔
We need you all.
oh my that is "daring"
That truly tests the strength of a king pin.
Nothing actually happens WTF!
Good job rescue Cisco Kid was a friend of mine
Such brave men.
Wow, what kind of 5th wheel is on the truck? 5th wheel doing its thing !
Somebody needs to be on there needs thanking God. TO my fellow driver. Hope ur ok. That fifth wheel done its job. Also that bridge hold up pretty good. Stay safe to my fellow drivers. An all
Sysco's got the worst driver's in the world. Why do idiotic companies hire LITTLE kids to drive!!!!!? They Must have great insurance to be throwing away money like that..
THEY REFUSED TO AIR THE REST OF THE FILM! The guy told the driver to hand over all her valuables so he could place them in a secure bag. She DID. Then they lifted him back up quickly! And they took off! They were not even first responders they were fake. They were just some guys with some skills. They left her hanging there and when they left, they cut the cable and she went ass over tea kettle into the river.
Rescuer potentially giving his own life… thankful they are both safe
That's terrifying when you understand exactly what's keeping that truck from separating from the trailer. Literally 2 steel spring loaded jaws holding on to a kingpin about the size of the average man's fist. She's lucky she survived it. That 1st responder would get tangled up in it and probably go down with her if it broke loose too. That guy's got giant balls of steel.
👏👏👏👏👏
Me hubiera gustado verlos hasta el final 😳😳😳😳😳😱😱😱😱😱🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Knowing the trailer is secured so rescuers are safe job well done men
How in the hell does this happen??
That kingpin and 5th wheel latch holding on for dear life
CrAzY women drivers !!!
Holy Cow
I think Sysco needs to rethink doubles trailers. 😅
How did she crash
Thete are restaurants and hospitals wondering where their grocery order is……..🤣
diversity hire
Iv got money that says she learned nothing and will swerve again when the situation arises.
NEVER SWERVE DRIVERS!
An appropriate song for this video, should be. (On the Road Again) by Willy Nelson😅
What a sick twisted world we live in that these guys and gals risking their lives make chump change in comparison to many useless celebrities and public figures.
Hail to fifthwheel KingPin Gods
New ride at Universal Studios
I’m glad that she was OK and she so happy to be out of the truck facing the water down below if they didn’t save her she would’ve died in the water and into her own truck praying for her and the rescue team
