I am in agreement with you since it takes a lot of nerve to drive a truck.

They rescued the woman, which was good, but I wonder if they managed to salvage her truck from such a hairy predicament too, before it plunged into the drink.

I am sure that the female truck was scared since she was shaken up when the firefighters saved her from falling into the river.

I seen that the other day & was wondering how
the truck ended up where it did, I thought it was
from a blown tire or wet roads, but thank you for
filling in the blank of how the truck wrecked like it did.
