Bryce Carden reveals he was 'calm' while rescuing woman driver

Firefighter Carden recently performed a daring rescue on the Clark Memorial Bridge in Kentucky, which spans the Ohio River. He saved an unidentified woman driver from a terrifying crash.

Using a ladder, Carden descended to reach the trapped driver in the semi-truck's trailer, which was wedged against the bridge's beams, preventing it from falling into the river below.

Despite the truck's hood hanging open from the cab, Carden fearlessly secured the woman using ropes and brought her to safety.

In an interview with Fox News host CB Cotton, Carden remained "humble" about his bravery and credited the success of the mission to his team, stating, "I knew that the guys had my back, so I was not nervous whatsoever. I went down, everything slowed down."

Carden also praised the woman he rescued, saying, "I got to her, she was awesome. She was able to help me make the rescue what it was. Once I got her out of there, then I asked her, I said, 'Do you pray?' and she just said 'yes' and she started praying."

Fox News further reported that the woman driver was a veteran.
