Two firefighters were injured — one critically — after a fire truck crashed in Muskingum County on Thursday. It happened near 910 Dresden-Adamsville Road on State Route 208.
One firefighter was flown by helicopter to Grant Medical Center in Columbus in critical condition. The second firefighter was rushed to Genesis Hospital in Zanesville and was said to be stable.
The crash involved a lengthy extraction to get the driver out, a spokesman for Muskingum County said. He added that the fire truck dropped off the edge of the road while coming down a hill, and when the driver tried to correct, the tanker “flipped over before striking a tree and ending up back on its wheels.”
