CRAWFORD COUNTY, Ga. — Faulty brakes led to a serious wreck Monday afternoon when a Crawford County fire truck overturned.
About 3:20 p.m., volunteer firefighter Jonathan Lee Brady, 21, of Lizella, was responding to a grass fire when his brakes failed at the intersection of Ga. 42 and Marshall Mill Road, Georgia State Patrol Sgt. M.A. Rogers said.
When Brady couldn't stop, he was hit by a Servpro van driven by Richie A. Sokinas, 28, of Perry, Rogers said.
The force of the impact overturned the 1982 firetruck and broke off the front axle, Rogers said.
Brady, Sokinas and his passenger, Anthony Thornton, 21, of Warner Robins, were all taken by ambulance to The Medical Center of Central Georgia with what did not appear to be life-threatening injuries, Rogers said.
The Georgia State Patrol is investigating the accident.
