The $204,000 tanker was totaled.”He jumped out as quick as he could and he got out safe,” said a school crossing guard who witnessed the accident. “He had angels watching over him.” Eaton is a seven-year veteran of the Jacksonville Fire-Rescue Division. Police say the accident is under investigation.
