Truck driver rescued from his cab dangling off an elevated highway in Kentucky

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Firefighters rescued the driver of a semi-truck after a crash left the truck’s cab dangling over the side of an elevated highway in Kentucky.
The Louisville Fire Department said in a social media post that it responded Sunday morning to the crash on Interstate 65 just south of the Kennedy Bridge and found the cab hanging precariously off the interstate. The highway is elevated above 15 to 20 feet (4.6 to 6.1 meters) above Interstates 64 and 71 in the area, Capt. Donovan Sims said.
A rescuer harnessed to a rope system was lowered into the cab, and video showed the rescuer and the driver then being lifted from the vehicle to safety.
Authorities said the rescue operation took about 30 minutes and no injuries were reported although the driver was taken to a hospital as a precaution.
The Louisville Metro Police Department released several 911 calls related to the accident, including a call with the truck driver, WHAS-TV reports.
