Big rig dangles off Texas highway overpass

Car wedged underneath; trucker and two car passengers rescued

FORT WORTH, Texas — The cab of an 18-wheeler was left dangling over the edge of an elevated highway ramp in Texas on Thursday after an accident.

Fire Department spokesman Tim Hardeman says emergency crews rescued the truck driver from his cab that is dangling off the elevated stretch of the I-20. He was treated at the scene for minor injuries. The rig was not carrying a load, the local newspaper reported.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram also reported that the man and woman inside a sports car that was wedged beneath the giant semitrailer were cut free after more than three hours.
They were speaking to rescuers during the ordeal and were later taken to a local hospital, but their condition wasn't life-threatening, the paper said, citing MedStar, the local emergency medical service.
The cause of the accident, which occurred around 4 a.m. local time, is being investigated. It tied up traffic for hours around the flyover.
