Dramatic Rescue: Heroic Effort Saves Man Trapped in Dangling 18-Wheeler Overpass Ordeal
Amazing rescue made after an 18 wheeler was dangling from an overpass on the Turnpike with the Driver trapped inside! Palm Beach Gardens Firefighters raised the bucket from Truck29 to reach the trapped driver.
Once our firefighters secured him to a harness, they helped him climb into the bucket. Truck 29 slowly lowered him to the ground to be transported to a local hospital. About 36 seconds into the video, he thanks the heavens for his safe rescue from this precarious situation.
The firefighters were only able to get to him after Engine 23 and Rescue 23 secured the 18 wheeler with a grip hoist, grade 100 chain, and 6inch vehicle strap cribbing, straps to keep the massively heavy vehicle from rolling any further forward. This driver is very lucky to be alive and we are grateful to be able to get him back to him family for the holidays
