For nearly an hour, the driver of a tractor-trailer was trapped in its cab as it dangled high above the Ohio River off the side of a Kentucky bridge after a multivehicle crash on Friday. From the bridge, emergency responders shouted directions to the driver. Emergency crews set up a rope system and lowered a Louisville, Ky., firefighter, Bryce Carden, to rescue her. “Thank God,” the driver said when Mr. Carden drew even with the truck’s cab, he recalled at a news conference on Friday. Initially, Mr. Carden said, he struggled to free the driver from her seatbelt.
