According to the Cincinnati Fire Department, the truck rolled off the overpass from northbound I-471 to Third Street in Mount Adams, landing upside down at the bottom of another road.
Approximately 30 rescue crew members worked for nearly an hour to remove the two people who were trapped inside of the semi, WCPO says. They were transported to an area hospital after being extricated.
