Posted by Janet Liebsch - March 03, 2024 7:35 AM

At around 12:00 pm 1-March-2024, Louisville (KY) Division of Fire crews responded to a high-angle rescue on the Clark Memorial Bridge. They immediately assessed the scene and began rescue operations to save a semi-truck driver who was still in the cab of her truck hanging off the bridge over the Ohio River. 

The dramatic rescue occurred after a serious motor vehicle collision involving 4 vehicles, and 3 individuals were transported to University Hospital. 

Through their swift and proficient maneuvering and a team effort by all the First Responders on scene, LDF safely rescued the driver in about 40 minutes.

Well done everyone!!  ~ j
