  • Cuz I'm lazy, here is the content:



    A Department of Sanitation vehicle crashed through the third floor of building in Queens on Wednesday morning, leaving the driver stranded while rescuers rushed to the scene, according to WPIX and the New York City Fire Department.

    The driver of the truck, a 56-year-old male, was rescued using a tower ladder truck within a half hour of firefighters arriving on the scene, an FDNY spokesperson told HuffPost. He was taken to Elmhurst hospital with neck and back injuries.

    Over the course of the rescue, 25 units -- over 100 firefighters -- responded to the scene.

    The incident occurred on the second floor of a sanitation garage at 58-65 52nd Road in Queens, according to the FDNY.

  • I can't image the level of terror felt by the guy stuck in the cab. I read that he collapsed in the cherry picker when the firemen got him out.
