Driver pulled from truck dangling from Louisville bridge over Ohio River in dramatic rescue

A person driving a semi truck crashed through the Clark Memorial Bridge on Friday afternoon. Video footage of the rescue shows first responders trying to extract the driver from the cab.

Louisville first responders are at the scene of a crash on the Clark Memorial Bridge in Kentucky, which spans the Ohio River, after a semi-truck crashed through the bridge's guardrail barrier and dangled over the water. 

The initial crash was reported around 12:15 local time. The truck was moving northbound on the bridge when it apparently crossed the lane and crashed through the bridge's guardrail, according to local reports. 

Dramatic video shows a first responder being lowered to the semi truck from a ladder in order to lift the driver to safety. 

The Clark Memorial Bridge is currently closed to traffic as first responders continue working. 

This is a developing story and will be updated.
