Truck clings to hillside

A pick-up truck went over the hill at the intersection of Munday Rd. and State Rt. 5 last night at 8:30 p.m., with the vehicle barely clinging to the steep hillside above the Little Kanawha River.

A truck driver hooked a chain to the truck to keep it from slipping over, until Furr's Wrecker arrived on the scene.
