Driver miraculously survived after a big rig plunges off freeway overpass in Lafayette (Lafayette, CA)

A driver miraculously survived early Thursday morning after a big rig plunged from a freeway overpass onto the road in Lafayette.

As per the initial information, the hit-and-run accident took place on Highway 24. The early reports showed that an Audi rear-ended the rig about 3 a.m. on eastbound Highway 24, sending the truck falling down 25 feet onto Pleasant Hill Road in Lafayette. The reports also revealed that the driver made it out without any serious injuries. The driver was reportedly seen walking around afterward.

His big rig was hauling approximately 100 gallons of fuel. Hazmat teams were sent to the scene for the cleanup. The driver of the Audi did not remain at the scene after the accident, so the CHP is considering this a hit-and run. No other details are available.

The incident remains under active review.
