Firefighters in Rowan County, North Carolina are urging drivers to slow down and move over when approaching accident scenes on the road. The plea comes after a car collided with a fire truck on Interstate 85 earlier this week.
The Bostian Heights Fire Department is one of the busiest departments in Rowan County, responding to more than 130 calls per month. Due to its proximity to I-85, the department frequently responds to traffic accidents on the interstate in southern parts of the county.
According to a post on their social media page, "a tanker (Bostian Heights FD) and two engines (Bostian Heights FD / China Grove FD) were stationary in lanes 1 and 2 with all emergency lights activated when a passenger car struck the tanker and came to rest next to one of the engines."
Thankfully, no injuries were reported as all personnel were out of harm's way at that time.
