Louisville, Kentucky emergency crews repelled off the Clark Memorial Bridge, also known as the 2nd Street Bridge, on Friday to rescue a driver of a semi-truck who was dangling over the Ohio River.
Crews performed a high-angle rescue to repel down to the level of the cabin, get the driver and raise the person back up to safety.
During a press conference, Louisville Fire Chief Brian O'Neill said crews arrived at the scene at 12:06 p.m. local time to a "pretty serious wreck" involving two vehicles and a semi-truck. One patient in a vehicle was transported to a local hospital.
The driver of the semi, a woman, was stuck in the cab, but rescuers were able to get her out. They used a ladder to lower the rescuer, firefighter Bryce Carden, and the two were pulled up by a rope and pulley.
