VIDEO: The Madison Fire Department needed to bring a ladder truck to help rescue a driver whose dump truck had toppled onto its side.
The truck rolled following a crash late Monday morning at the Wheeler Road East and Sherman Ave. intersection. A Madison Police Department statement about the wreck did not indicate what caused the collision or if any other vehicles were involved.
When firefighters arrived shortly before 11:30 a.m. they found the passenger had been able to get out, but the driver was still stuck in the truck, which was sitting on its passenger side.
As a medical team tended to the passenger, an MFD team extended the fire truck’s ladder over the dump truck to help the driver climb out of its window, MFD continued. The driver was able to climb into the ladder’s basket and was lowered back onto the ground.
