one dead, one critically injured
A volunteer firefighter from Farmland lost his life while another was critically injured in a crash on Thursday morning. The incident occurred when the tanker truck with the Farmland Volunteer Fire Department crashed near County Roads 1000 West and 400 North in Randolph County, according to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security.
The tanker truck was responding to a report of a barn fire when it approached an S-curve and rolled over. The vehicle landed on top of Kyle T. Osgood, who was pronounced dead at the scene, and Zachary Lee, who suffered serious injuries and had to be flown to Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne for treatment.
Lee underwent surgery later that day and is currently listed as being in critical condition. "Our hearts are heavy this morning for the Farmland Volunteer Fire Department who have lost one of their heroes and have another badly injured after a traffic accident while responding to a fire this morning," reads a Facebook post from the Randolph County Sheriff's Department.
Osgood's grandfather previously served as the fire chief of the Farmland Volunteer Fire Department. A fellow firefighter said Osgood had been coming to the fire station since he was a child and rose through the ranks as he stayed committed to protecting his community.
Indiana State Police are investigating what led up to this tragic event which took place roughly 75 miles northeast of downtown Indianapolis.
