FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - Two workers have safely escaped from a bucket truck that broke down on an expressway ramp in Fort Lauderdale.
Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue crews responded to the scene on the ramp that runs from southbound Interstate 95 to eastbound 595, near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, just after 8:30 a.m., Tuesday.
The two workers were stuck in the bucket that was hanging underneath the overpass after the truck experienced mechanical issues.
Emergency crews used a ladder truck to reach the workers and bring them to safety.
The workers were not injured.
“It wasn’t bad it was just, the truck shut off and something happened to it mechanically,” said Craig Sutton, who was rescued. “It’s just one of those things. Thank God the fire department came and rescued us so we weren’t stuck under there.”
