A lorry driver in southern Brazil had a miraculous escape when his vehicle skidded over the guard rail as he crossed a bridge linking the states of Sao Paulo and Parana.
The driver, Aguinaldo da Silva, said he lost control of his unloaded truck after a car stopped abruptly on the bridge.
It took nearly half an hour for passers-by to rescue him, using a rope to pull him up from his cabin.
