WATCH: Driver rescued as cab of semi dangles above Kentucky interstate

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDKY) — Video shows a frightening scene on Interstate 65 in Louisville, Kentucky, on Sunday as emergency crews rescued a semitrailer driver whose cab was dangling over the side of a bridge.

According to the Louisville Metro Police Department, the driver lost control before 10 a.m. Sunday and hit the Kennedy Bridge’s rail, causing the semi’s cab to hang precariously above the interstate with the driver trapped inside.

The highway is elevated 15 to 20 feet above Interstates 64 and 71 in the area, Capt. Donovan Sims said.

Louisville firefighters caught the rescue on camera.

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.

“Yet again, our city’s first responders worked together quickly to help save the driver,” the Louisville Fire Department wrote. “It takes everyone to perform this brave act, from the 911 call center fielding the call for help, to dispatching Louisville Fire, LMPD blocking traffic during the rescue, and EMS transporting the semitruck driver to the hospital. We are one Louisville.”

The rescue comes a little more than a year after another truck driver was rescued from the cab of her truck, which hung over the side of the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge between Louisville, Kentucky, and southern Indiana.
