Driver's lucky escape after car plunges into river in Norway when wooden bridge collapses


A driver had a lucky escape after his car plunged into a river in Norway when a wooden bridge collapsed.

The falling bridge also left a truck stuck in an almost vertical position on a collapsed section.

Police said that a helicopter assisted in the rescue operation in Gudbrandsdalen and pulled out the truck driver.

The driver of the car managed to get out of his vehicle by himself.

A picture from the scene shows the wooden bridge broken into several pieces, with large sections underwater.

Both drivers are doing well after their ordeal, police say.
