    Oh no. There was just a highway overpass collapse in Butte County. A Fed Ex truck is buried in the rubble and at least one worker went down with the overpass.

    A FedEx driver was trapped in his truck after a bridge under construction collapsed near Oroville around 7:30 a.m., police said.

    The collapse occurred at Highway 149 and Highway 70, north of Oroville in Butte County.
    A California Highway Patrol dispatcher was unsure whether the driver suffered any serious injuries. Emergency officials were working to free him from the truck. Highway 149 is closed in both directions at the junction with Highway 70. Southbound drivers should take southbound 70 or 99 to Highway 162, and northbound drivers should take Highway 162 to Highway 70, the CHP said.

    They got the Fed Ex driver out with major injuries. The Cal Trans worker has moderate injuries.

    That Fed Ex driver was so lucky. He was released from the hospital and he will be fine. To see his truck, he is lucky to be alive.
