Driver left dangling after truck goes over edge of Ore. overpass
BEAVERTON, Ore. - A truck ended up dangling off an overpass in Beaverton on Saturday, trapping the driver in a precarious position.
The crash happened around 3:30 p.m. on the Denney Road overpass along Highway 217.
When police arrived at the scene, the driver was still inside the truck.
A Technical Rescue Team from Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue was called there as well and secured the truck to a fire engine to keep it from falling. They then used a fire engine basket to get the driver to safety.
The driver was later identified as 38-year-old Matthew Alan Hamilton of Beaverton. He was taken to a local hospital to get checked out - police said injuries he suffered in the crash did not appear to be life threatening.
Police believe alcohol played a role in what happened. The truck was the only vehicle involved.
This guy was a lot more than drunk.....

"Driver left dangling"? That's not what happened.
Hey, at least this dipshit drunk driver didn't drag anyone else into his mess.
Buy a smaller car Mathew, you're not quite man enough to handle a truck. Same goes for half of you truck driving fools who can't park/drive worth a can of beans.
If that's a 4 Wheel Drive, Couldn't he just back it up?
One would hope that the incident would scare him straight.Â
@DT Yeah. Good luck with that.
Oh I'm sure the view down below right in front of him was a pretty sobering image, probably not for him though.
Looks like he use to have a nice truck. Serves him right.Â
Gravity can suck sometimes!
Alcohol?????????????NO WAY!!!!!!
