SÃO PAULO, Brazil — A truck driver in southern Brazil had a Houdini-like escape when his vehicle skidded over the guard rail as he crossed a bridge linking the states of São Paulo and Paraná.
Driver Aguinaldo da Silva was driving his truck without any cargo over Chavantes bridge, which connects the two south-eastern states, when he lost control after a car stopped abruptly in front of him, reported The Telegraph. Da Silva was rescued from the truck 25 minutes after the accident by passers-by who used a rope to pull him up from his cabin.
According to BBC News, he escaped uninjured, but efforts to rescue the truck on Sunday had to be put on hold.
