Ridgeland firefighters freed a driver pinned under a fuel tanker.
Ridgeland firefighters had to extricate a driver pinned under a semi-tanker on Interstate 55 Wednesday afternoon.
Fire crews responding to the incident arrived to find a car pinned under the tanker containing 8,500 gallons of gasoline with the sedan driver trapped inside.
In a Facebook post, Ridgeland Fire Department called the rescue effort a “very tedious extrication.”
The driver suffered minor injuries and was transported to University Mississippi Medical Center.
