It happened around 8:45 a.m. Tuesday, June 23, north of Kernersville, as firefighters with the Piney Grove Fire and Rescue Department were headed to an emergency call, the N.C. State Highway Patrol says.
An investigation has revealed the fire engine was traveling north on Piney Grove Road when it entered a curve, went off the right side of road, swerved back onto the pavement, rolled over, landed on its wheels, then slammed into a tree, Trooper L. S. Bullington told The Charlotte Observer.
“The windshield came off and struck a pedestrian in the back as he was weed-eating his yard,” Bullington said. “Three people were taken to hospitals: two firefighters and the guy in the yard.”
