A semi-truck driver was pulled out of their vehicle as it dangled off the side of the Louisville Bridge and hung over the Ohio River on Friday.
In what looked like a scene from a Hollywood film, the front half of the semi was facing down toward the river as the back end barely grasped onto the bridge.
A fire department rescue team lowered a first responder to the driver via a crane and safely returned them to the bridge.
Footage of the incident was widely shared online:
