Truck driver rescued after 6 hours in croc-infested waters
There are bad days at work, and then there’s this.
A routine crossing for a trucker in Kenya turned into a daring helicopter rescue from a raging crocodile-infested river, after his truck was swept off the causeway by a sudden flash flood. The driver managed to scramble out of his cab, but was then left perched on top of it for six-and-a-half hours, as rescue attempts failed the water kept rising, and the river’s occupants got hungrier.
Cue Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, known for rescuing elephants and rhinos with their aerial team, who flew in and performed an inch-perfect maneuver, grabbing the driver from the jaws of certain death with just minutes to spare. The truck was ultimately swept into deeper waters, but thanks to some mad helicopter skills, the driver gets to keep on trucking.
