Video of the scene captured by Sky5 showed the massive truck, with packages still inside its cargo hold, as crews were working to secure it to nearby metal railings.
First responders with the United States Army Reserve were working in cooperation with LAFD, and had planned to use heavy equipment to try and bring the vehicle to street level, officials said.
According to Sky5 reporter Gil Leyvas, rescuers were opting to safely secure the delivery truck overnight and have the vehicle towed in safer circumstances.
So far, no injuries have been reported and no additional details have been provided.
