JACKSON TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A firefighter was hurt when a fire truck crashed Monday morning.
WLWT.com reported that the rig’s driver was returning to the station from ladder training when he moved right to give an oncoming vehicle more room.
The truck’s right wheels went off the side of the road and the driver overcorrected, troopers said.
A firefighter suffered minor injuries after the truck overturned. Troopers said the fire truck wouldn’t have normally been on the road for a non-emergency run, but a section of the road was closed for work, forcing a detour.
The truck, valued at $350,000, is insured, the fire department said.
The crash remains under investigation.
