Driver stuck in truck dangling off icy bridge saved in dramatic rescue

A truck driver was rescued after his cab dangled over an icy bridge for hours following a crash in West Virginia early Tuesday (2 December).

Rescue crews used a ladder truck to lift the driver, who was uninjured, out of the cab.
