A big rig very narrowly avoided driving off a Kentucky bridge in scary dash cam footage. Per WDRB, there's harrowing dashcam footage showing the perspective of a driver in a semi-truck. In it, Sydney Thomas, a driver for Sysco, sends the semi-truck careening off the Clark Memorial Bridge in Kentucky.

As you can see, Thomas reacts to a Chevrolet truck, driven by Trevor Branham, suddenly swerving into her lane. The front of the semi-truck crashes through the guardrail, and Thomas screams before the semi-truck stops in mid-air. Louisville first responders rushed to the scene, and Thomas was rescued approximately 45 minutes later. Fortunately for Thomas, the semi snagged on the bridge beam, which kept it from dropping into the Ohio River.
Which leaves one infamous question: how did this happen? Well, as reported by WDRB, Branham's Chevrolet was speeding and weaving in and out of traffic in the southbound lanes, when it hit a stalled vehicle in the right lane. He then lost control and crossed into northbound lanes, hitting another car with two people inside before finally crashing into the Sysco semi-truck.
