Detroit Fire Truck Accident

Posted on July 23rd 2009

I saw on the news today a story about a Detroit Fire Truck Accident that occurred on July 21st at the corner of Lawndale and Vernor. According to eyewitnesses, the fire truck allegedly on an emergency run when it lost control and rammed into two vehicles that pulled over to let the fire truck pass.

Surveillance video and other witnesses allege that the fire truck was travelling at too high a rate of speed when it tried to take a curve in the road and lost control. The driver of one vehicle was uninjured but the driver and passenger of the other vehicle had to be taken to the hospital with unknown possibly serious injuries. The accident is under investigation at this time.

I am very sorry to hear about this accident and wish the injured parties a full and speedy recovery.
