Firefighters in Louisville helped rescue a semi truck driver off the Clark Memorial Bridge.The driver of a semi truck that careened off the Clark Memorial Bridge in Louisiana is speaking out for the first time since her miraculous 40-minute rescue."I was like, I can't believe this, that I'm really hanging over the river," she said.
It all began when the driver of a pickup truck, 33-year-old Trevor Branham, swerved to avoid a stalled car on the bridge. Branham then slammed into the semi Thomas was driving."I'm going to have to jump. I can't swim either," she told herself. "I didn't know how bad it was. I thought the trailer was still on the bridge, I didn't know it was like this," she added, using her hands to demonstrate the steep angle.
A crew of firefighters from the Louisville Fire Department rushed to the bridge to help rescue Thomas.
