Pasco Fire Engine Crash

There were two firefighters and three others that were injured after a Pasco Fire Rescue engine had collided with a van in New Port Richey. County officials states that the wreck occurred near the intersection of Altoona Avenue and State Road 52. Around 12:30 p.m., authorities state a truck from the Pasco County Fire Rescue’s Station No. 21 had been struck by a 1995 Chevy Astro van, driven by 65 year old Virginia Marie Davidson. Davidson had to be taken to Bayonet Point Hospital for treatment. It is unclear whether the truck, which had been housed at Station 21 off State Road 52 in Hudson, was currently on their way to an emergency or not. However, according to the reports, the fire truck had been traveling eastbound in the inside lane on SR-52. When it approached the intersection of Altoona Avenue when Davidson had accidently missed a stop sign which caused the truck to strike the left side of their vehicle. The troopers have stated that the van rotated counter clockwise and traveled south and traveled south across SR-52. Immediately following the impact, the van ended up hitting a concrete curb. The two injured firefighters had to be taken to the hospital and are currently in stable condition. The three others, who had been in the van, were badly injured. Two of the passengers, 24 year old Theresa Morrow and 4 year old Kaitlyn Placaeres, had to be flown to a hospital while the other had to be taken by ambulance. Both are said to be in stable condition. The other passenger, 28 year old Michael Lang, did not appear to be injured according to the reports.
