Crews say the truck was hanging over the creek which was 15-feet below. They say it took them an hour to get the driver out of the vehicle.

The driver did not sustain any injuries but was taken to the hospital as a precaution.

The Floyd County Sheriff’s Department is investigating whether the driver was under the influence.
