Northern Regional District Firefighters and Rescue personnel were called upon to use all their skills in a delicate operation to extract a driver and child from this overturned truck at the edge of a bridge.

An accident involving a truck that overturned on a bridge turned a Sunday morning into a “cliff-hanger” for northern regional district firefighters and rescue personnel.

One could say it was an open miracle that the occupants of the truck were not killed in what could have been a massive tragedy.

The teams worked to rescue the driver and a young 12-year-old relative who were trapped inside the truck, and then find a way to turn it right-side-up while balanced on open beams.

Special equipment was needed for the delicate operation. All this, in the wet, foggy weather of a rainy, drizzly, cold northern morning.

The truck overturned before 7 am at the Somech Interchange near Route 79 in northern Israel, sliding off the road while crossing the bridge and over the edge where construction beams are spread apart, with nothing in between.
