A truck driver has been rescued from his cab after it was left dangling 70ft over a river when strong winds forced the vehicle through a bridge barrier. Ferocious gusts threw Wayne Boone's empty trailer across the I-64 Highrise Bridge over the Elizabeth River in Chesapeake, Virginia, on Monday morning. Boone faced choppy waters rushing below his windshield as the cab of the jackknifed Freightliner truck swayed over the river in 60 mile per hour winds. His truck was pulled up onto the road by a crane a few hours later. Alcohol was not involved in the crash, Boone had his seatbelt on and is not facing charges.
