(MILWAUKEE, Wis.) A pickup truck drove off I-94 Saturday morning in the Zoo Interchange, falling 70 feet down onto the westbound I-94 distress lane, according to WISN.

Video of the crash shows the driver losing control of his truck before careening over the barrier wall.

When Milwaukee County sheriff's deputies arrived, they found the man being helped by two people. The sheriff's office said the man was "conscious and breathing" and "did not show any signs of impairment." The Milwaukee Fire Department took the man to an area hospital for treatment.

The westbound I-94 lanes and Zoo Interchange ramp were closed for hours while authorities cleared the scene, according to NBC News.
