No Injuries In Fire Truck Wreck

April 6, 2012

There were no injuries Thursday afternoon in a fire truck wreck near Nokomis, Alabama

A Nokomis (Ala.) Volunteer Fire Department tanker truck came to rest in a ditch on Johnson Road while the driver was responding to a reported brush fire. Tires on the passenger side of the tanker truck were a few feet into the air, while the driver’s side of the vehicle came to rest on a ditch embankment which prevented the truck from rolling over.

The accident is under investigation by Alabama State Troopers. Further details have not been released.

Johnson Road is in Escambia County, Alabama, near the Baldwin County line — just a short distance northwest of the extreme northwestern corner of Florida.
