The driver’s family calls his survival “a miracle.” The trucker was released from a metro hospital on Tuesday, after an eight-day stay to treat a string of injuries tied to last Monday’s crash.

Last Monday morning’s crash stemmed from something causing him to collide with the bridge’s concrete support. Tuccitto is believed to be one of the only drivers to suffer serious injuries from a crash there.
