WINTER ROAD CONDITIONS BLAMED FOR APPARATUS CRASH

2 Tyendinaga Township (Ontario, CN) Firefighters have been released from hospital and are recovering from injuries suffered when their fire apparatus crashed.

The men were responding to a car crash on Hwy. 401 around 9:15 a.m. Saturday when their vehicle lost control and collided with a tree. One of the men suffered a broken arm and the other suffered lacerations.

A winter storm slicked roads and there was a flurry of calls to crashes and the police are blaming road conditions. The truck, a three-quarter ton specially outfitted pickup, was totaled. The truck slid off the road and the driver’s side door was wedged against the tree. Winter roads? Slow down.
