San Jose firefighters this afternoon are trying to rescue a Caltrans delivery truck driver who went off Mt. Hamilton Road and fell down a 75-foot embankment, according to a fire dispatcher.
The male driver may have had chest pains when he veered off the road six miles up on Mt. Hamilton Road from Alum Rock at about 2:10 p.m., the dispatcher said.
A fire rescue response team responded to help hoist the man up the hill.
As of 3:20 p.m., the man had not yet been extricated from the truck and a helicopter was en route to transport him to a hospital, the dispatcher said.
The man was the only occupant in the truck.
The California Highway Patrol has also responded to assist.
