(WHDH) — A driver was rescued by nearby motorists Wednesday after being trapped in a truck that had crashed into a highway barrier on I-435.
Authorities say the crash happened around 1 p.m. in Overland Park, which is located in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
Dramatic video showed the moment when the truck slammed into a barrier, which separates the interstate from the US 69 highway changeover. The truck burst into flames a few moments later.
The driver of the semi-truck was initially trapped in the cab, however several motorists on the scene came to the driver’s aide, officials said.
The extent of the driver’s injuries were not immediately known.
