This footage was filmed and produced 15 November 2023.

At around 7 a.m. on the 15th of November, a truck found itself vertically lodged, with the cabin suspended, under an A3 bridge in Mislata (l'Horta Sud). The Consorcio de Bombers de Valencia reported that the incident likely occurred due to an issue with the truck's tipping mechanism.

Upon receiving the alert, three firefighting units from Paterna and Torrent, along with the sergeant of Paterna, an officer, and the sector head, rushed to the scene. Firefighters had to rescue the driver, who was trapped in the cabin approximately eight meters above ground. Using a height vehicle, they carefully extracted him, immobilizing his neck to prevent injuries.

The driver was then transferred to medical services on the ground. The operation also involved the participation of the Guardia Civil.
