Palm Beach County firefighters put their training to use to rescue a driver after the cab of his rig was left dangling from an overpass. 

Once firefighters secured the rig from the top of the overpass, crews from Truck 29 raised the bucket to his location.

After securing him to a harness, they help him climb into the bucket. He paused briefly and raised his hands in the air in thanks.

He was transported to a local hospital for a checkup.
