Thanks, but that is already posted above. Nothing in there indicates the excessive speed and/or running of a stop sign.
Four way stop with flashing red lights. Van was hit broadside and pushed 100 yards...
Both could have run the stop sign, but it sounds like the firetruck driver was at fault. And all for a truck fire. Sounds like some major EVOC training is in order.
Here's a quote from Ohio.com
"The State Highway Patrol is investigating the crash at Johnson Street and Walnut Road Southeast at about 8:30 a.m. The intersection is a four-way stop with signs and flashing overhead red lights. The ladder truck struck the driver's side door of Anderson's 1996 Dodge Caravan and pushed the vehicle about 110 yards before stopping nearly a block away at 13th Street."
Here's another quote from Ohio.Com
"Lt. Joel Smith of the highway patrol said an investigation could take several weeks to reconstruct the crash, including determining the ladder truck's speed, and to check its brakes and assess a cause.
Witnesses who talked to troopers said the sirens and lights were working. Others identifying themselves as witnesses told reporters they heard no sirens, but those people have not yet spoken to troopers, Smith said."
