Firefighters swarmed the FedEx (nyse: FDX - news - people ) delivery truck to cut its driver from underneath a large steel beam that crushed the hood but missed the cab. A second beam landed on the back of the truck. The cause of the collapse was being investigated. The driver, Robert Sylvester, 45, of Chico, was pulled free about 2 1/2 hours...
