Rescue in progress for semi-truck hanging over McKinney overpass

A dramatic rescue took place on Wednesday after a tow truck crashed and was left hanging over an overpass near Highways 121 and Hardin Boulevard in McKinney. Emergency crews, including the McKinney Fire Department, responded to the scene to stabilize the vehicle and rescue the individual who was trapped. Fortunately, the driver sustained only minor injuries, was evaluated by Medic 11, and declined transportation to the hospital. The driver reported that the truck overturned while trying to avoid a collision, leading to the precarious situation. Southbound lanes of the highway were closed, with some northbound lanes also affected. Drivers are advised to use alternative routes and refrain from the area until further notice. CBS News Texas will continue to provide updates on the situation.
