Truck hangs precariously over US overpass

2012-11-25 78

This was a terrifyingly close call for one Oregon motorist.

The driver of a small truck in Beaverton crashed through a guard rail on this highway overpass on Saturday, leaving him and his vehicle dangling precariously over a busy road below.

The unidentified 38-year-old man was rescued with the help of a truck and taken to a nearby hospital...while rescuers pondered how best to remove the dangling vehicle from its lofty parking place.

The fortunate driver appears not to have been seriously injured in the crash.
