VIDEO: Dashcam shows semi driver hanging over Ohio River moments after Louisville bridge crash in March

We now have a first-person dramatic look at the Clark Memorial Bridge crash that left a semi-truck driver hanging over the Ohio River on March 1. Video from inside and outside the truck's cab was played in court Wednesday morning as the man charged in the crash appeared in court. The dashcam video shows 33-year-old Trevor Branham's pickup truck swerving out of his lane to avoid hitting an electric vehicle that stalled on the bridge. He then crashed into a Sysco semi-truck, driven by 26-year-old Sydney Thomas. As Thomas tried to avoid hitting other vehicles, her semi plows through the bridge's railing and she is left hanging nearly 100 feet above the Ohio River for about 45 minutes. Following the crash, Louisville firefighters conducted a daring rescue to get Thomas out of the semi-truck's cab.

Father says he ’took off barreling towards fire’ to rescue young kids from burning Louisville home

VIDEO: A young family is without a home after a fire in the Portland neighborhood on Saturday night. Bret Williams says he was home with his three kids when a fire started on the second floor. He says he was with his 9-year-old son cleaning the home when he started to smell smoke. He went to search for his two other kids, one who is 3 years old and another who is just 16 months old. "And I took off, barreling toward the fire," Williams said. "Staying low and looking for my kids." He sustained second-degree burns on his arms and hands and first-degree burns on his face in the process. Luckily, his two other kids were on the first floor. "Thank God they were downstairs playing in the playroom," he said. "Which is this room right here, the only room that wasn't touched by anything," said Amber Dye, the children's mother, who was at work when the fire started.
