One Pennsylvania man is lucky to be alive this morning after the brakes on his truck failed while traveling through a local township. The unidentified man was said to have skidded off route 66 when his truck turned on to its side and came to a teetering halt on top of some jagged rocks.

Firefighters and first responders were among those who aided in the extraction of the man from the metal wreckage. Luckily the man prevailed unharmed and lived to tell the tale.

So far the man has not been charged with any sort of criminal violation. State Police were later on scene to investigate.
