KELSO, Washington (KPTV) — A truck driver was rescued from a Kelso, Wash. area waterway Friday after his semi-truck slid off Interstate 5, according to Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue.

Just after 1:30 p.m., firefighters responded to milepost 36 on I-5 South.

The driver was not injured, but his truck cab was completely surrounded by the icy water.

Firefighters used an aerial ladder from a ladder truck to reach and rescue the man.

Authorities said the slide-off was caused by ice on the road.
