LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Rescue teams in Kentucky worked to save the driver of a semitruck that crashed and was dangling off an overpass.

Around 9:50 a.m. May 4, a semitruck driver lost control of the vehicle and hit a rail on a bridge on Interstate 65 in Louisville, according to WAVE. The crash left the cab of the truck dangling from the overpass with the driver still inside.

The Louisville Fire Department, police and EMS worked to rescue the driver, according to a Facebook post by Deputy Mayor David James.

Photos posted by James online show the truck hanging over the bridge, and photos and video show the driver being pulled out of the cab by a crane.

It took about 30 minutes to rescue the driver, WLKY reported. No one was hurt.
