A truck driver was rescued after a passing officer noticed a truck in a roadside pond in New York on Sunday morning.
The accident happened on Sunday morning in Horseheads, New York at around 7:30 a.m. near the Walmart Supercenter.
According to WENY News, a lieutenant patrolling the area noticed the back end of a trailer sticking out of a retention pond as he passed by. He saw smoke coming from the rig and quickly called for assistance.
