I'm surprised I didnt see this on here already.
And might I say, that is one huge truck.
 
Bad wreck.... Absolutly PANCAKED the car into a building.

Reports say the Ladder had a Green light, car ran a red and tried to beat the ladder.


Also, the ladder was a reserve tiller, not a front-line piece of apparatus, but apparently covering while PFD's Ladder 13 was in the shop.

It is now sounding like the operator of the Ford Taurus was a 17 year-old male, on his cell phone who ran a red light.

Running a red light in front of a Seagrave Tiller-Ladder running hot isn't condusive to long-term survivial.

I almost think the guy deserves a darwin award.
 
How do you not see a big red truck with flashing lights and a siren?
People confuse me.
 
Oh, you would'nt beleive some of the stupid things I've seen, especially during the winter when I am plowing for highway (10 wheel dump truck lit up like an x-mas tree with amber) and the skiers just can't wait to get to the slopes. Believe it or not, they will pass on the right, through the windrow of snow coming off the plow! :angry: :angry:
