Firefighters Rescue Semi Driver Dangling Over Bridge

May 5, 2025 by Mable Cundiff


Emergency crews rescued a semitruck driver dangling over the Kennedy Bridge after a crash Sunday morning.

The crash involving a semitruck happened around 9:50 a.m. on the Kennedy Bridge, according to TRIMARC. Louisville Metro Police said the tractor trailer was going southbound when the driver lost control for an unknown reason and hit the rail of the bridge.

Police said the crash caused the cab of the tractor to hang over the rail with the driver inside. Rescue crews from Louisville Metro Police Department and Louisville Fire Department were on scene for rescue efforts, according to police.

Louisville Metro Police said the driver of the vehicle was conscious and alert after firefighters used a rope to bring the driver down to safety. No one was injured in the crash.

All lanes were also blocked on the I-64 east ramp from the Kennedy Bridge in Louisville due to the crash.
