It was in March this year that the accident happened. 26-year-old Sydney Thomas was crossing the Clark Memorial Bridge when a 33-year-old man crossed into the wrong lane to pass a stationary car. The video shows Sydney Thomas losing control of his truck after the crash, swerving across the roadway and through the fence of the bridge. Parts of the truck fly into the water 23 meters below, but the cab remains attached. Hanging for half an hour During a long rescue operation, the rescue service was pulled down from a lifting crane. Firefighter Bryce Carden was assigned to cut off Sydney Thomas’ seat belt and secure her in a harness. – She prayed, and I prayed with her. I have been through a lot, but this takes its toll, he says during the trial. The rescue operation took half an hour. Driving with a suspended license, the 33-year-old in the black pickup truck was arrested by police while Sydney Thomas was hanging in the truck cab. He is suspected of four counts of negligence in traffic and of driving with a suspended license. He is being held on $20,000 bail.
