Patrick and Kimberly are some of the newest members of the Brazos Volunteer Fire Department and were taking a new fire truck to get decals.

The apparatus, filled with 3,500 gallons of water, lost control when Kimberly wasn’t able to fully navigate a curve in the road, according to the article. The truck hit a concrete structure with the water causing it to overturn and land on its passenger side.
