A dramatic rescue operation unfolded on the Clark Memorial Bridge, also known as the 2nd Street Bridge, connecting Louisville, Kentucky, to southern Indiana, when a semi-truck, following a collision around 12:15 local time, was left dangling precariously over the Ohio River. The truck, identified as a large Sysco semi, had veered across lanes and crashed through the bridge's guardrail. First responders, including firefighters led by Bryce Carden, were seen performing a heroic rescue, with some rappelling down to the truck to save the trapped driver, a woman, who was inside the dangling truck for about 40 minutes. She was safely rescued. The bridge was closed on both sides as emergency teams worked on the scene, with the reopening time unknown. This incident drew widespread attention and praise for the bravery of the rescue teams involved.
