DAVIE COUNTY, N.C. – Two firefighters and a mother and her child were hurt after a crash involving a fire truck and a car in Davie County, according to authorities.
Crews were called to the 800 block of Junction Road south of Mocksville shortly before 4:30 p.m.
The crash involved a Cooleemee Fire Department fire truck and a 2017 Camaro. The fire truck overturned.
The driver of the Camaro has been identified as Brianne Calhoun, 39, Mocksville. She was taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and has a blood clot in her neck.
Her 10-year-old daughter was also in the car and was taken to the hospital but is expected to be OK.
One firefighter has a broken arm and the other firefighter suffered minor injuries, according to Highway Patrol.
Authorities said the fire truck went off the road, overcorrected and hit the car.
The driver of the fire truck was driving as part of a requirement to get a certification. The truck was not responding to a call.
The driver of the fire truck has been identified as Ashley Hepler, 21, Mocksville. She had a broken left arm.
A passenger in the fire truck has been identified as Tyler Lambert, 19, Mocksville. He was taken to hospital mainly as a precaution.
The people inside the fire truck said the steering wheel started "chattering," but a trooper was unable to say if there was a mechanical issue that contributed to the wreck. Weather is not a factor.
Charges are pending. Both the fire truck and Camaro are considered total losses.
