A 24-year-old FedEx driver was trying to help a driver stalled along a bridge in North Carolina when he saw an 18-wheeler headed straight toward him. He fell 75 feet — but somehow survived, walking away with a few broken ribs and a collapsed lung.
He ended up falling 75 feet off the side of a North Carolina bridge -- but survived, somehow, and walked away with a few broken ribs. Cribb, a 24-year-old FedEx driver, spotted a driver stalled along a bridge in Salisbury. He jumped out of his truck to assist them and turned on his hazard lights to warn oncoming cars. Then he saw an 18-wheeler headed straight toward them.
— Salisbury NC Fire February 19, 2020 "I gave him a little pinch on the leg because the way he was laying there looked like he may have been paralyzed from that great of a fall," Vodochodsky said at a news conference. Cribb felt the pinch. Eventually firefighters helped a dizzy Cribb on his feet and back up the bridge. Somehow, fire officials said, he'd missed the hard roots and logs below that could've killed him -- a vat of mud broke his fall.
