Monday, April 23, 2012 A civilian motorist was killed yesterday morning when he rear-ended an operating fire apparatus in Hesperia, California. A San Bernardino County Firefighter who was in the truck when it was struck, received NLT injuries and was taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton. The other driver, a man in his 20's, lost control while exiting the northbound 15 Freeway at around 0645 hours and was killed.
The fire apparatus was stopped on the shoulder of the off-ramp, operating at a rollover car crash and had its emergency lights turned on.
ANOTHER reminder about the roadway and highway dangers faced everyday. ACT as if we ARE going to be struck - and operate in a defensive mode. Need more details? Go to www.ResponderSafety.com
