A driver was rescued from likely death after a commercial cargo truck veered off a snow-covered highway in West Virginia, leaving the semi-truck cab dangling for five hours off a bridge nearly 100-feet above the ground.
According to a report at Fox Weather, at roughly 6:25 a.m. Tuesday, first responders from Hurricane Fire Department were dispatched to U.S. Route 35 in Mason County.
According to local first responders, technicians from several responding departments implemented three rope systems using two heavy “wrecker” trucks, Fox reported, operating one as an anchor to the bridge and the other to secure the dangling truck to prevent it from plummeting to the ground below.
