@SueB – The driver of the van may not be at fault. For all we know, the Fire Rescue truck may have been knocked into his path from the impact of the first collision!
The driver of a pickup truck that failed to yield the right of way to oncoming traffic & the van driver not paying attention that struck an Escambia County Fire Rescue pickup truck. Make both drivers pay for a new Escambia County Fire Rescue truck vs raising home owners taxes every year. In 3 days, they all will be hurting so better call a lawyer.
Hope both of the injured have fast recoveries, glad it didn’t turn out worse.
