The 24-year-old driver of an 18-wheeler was killed after he was cut off by a car and plunged 150 feet off a bridge in Houston. The truck was heading northbound Wednesday morning at the start of the 610 ship channel bridge at the time, according to CBS Houston affiliate KHOU-TV.

The driver steered into a barrier and crashed, falling upside down onto an industrial facility below. The trucker initially survived, but was pinned in the wreckage. Police said he later died during a rescue attempt.

Police said the driver of a silver Toyota Camry who allegedly caused the deadly crash stayed at the scene. There were no other injuries reported.
