Driver rescued after FedEx delivery truck overturns on wet road

A FedEx Express driver was rescued from inside his delivery truck after overturning in wet conditions.

The accident happened on Monday, August 20th at around 4:25 p.m. in East Vincent, Pennsylvania.

According to Daily Local News, the delivery truck was traveling along Route 724 between Bridge Street and Reitnour Road when the driver lost control and overturned, sending the truck into a roadside drainage ditch and trapping the driver inside.

Emergency responders soon arrived and stabilized the rig as they worked to remove the driver from inside, a task that was made more difficult by the water from a recent heavy rain rushing into the drainage ditch where the truck came to a rest.

The driver was eventually rescued from inside the truck and taken to a nearby hospital. Their current condition has not been released.
