As Sydney’s vehicle veers off course, it blows through the bridge’s side railing … with the front end of the truck left dangling 100 feet above the river. A distressed Sydney calls out for help … which eventually came, as she was left dangling for 45 minutes after the collision.
As we previously reported, Louisville firefighters responded to the scene … risking their own lives to conduct a daring rescue of Sydney. The rescue squad had one crew member repel off the side of the bridge, making his way down to the cab of the truck … where he successfully pulled Sydney out and lifted her to safety.
The driver of the pickup has reportedly been charged with 4 counts of wanton endangerment — as well as 1 count of operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license.
While he’s been accused of speeding, his attorney has defended the incident — saying it was just an everyday traffic accident … highlighting there were no serious injuries or deaths.
A grand jury is set to review the case in June … stay tuned.
