Car Smashes Into Firehouse
IN ROTHESAY, NEW BRUNSWICK, AN OUT-OF-CONTROL CAR smashed through one of the bay doors of the local firehouse on Tuesday.
It is believed that the driver suffered some sort of medical emergency while driving which cause him to crash. (Perhaps he was attempting to get to the firehouse for help? … FG)
The fire lieutenant on duty at the time said, “I think we’re lucky to be alive. We heard a noise and nobody knew what it was. There was just a shower of glass and debris and when dust settled there was a car sitting in our fire station.”
The car bounced off three trucks and came to rest wedged between one of the engines and a pillar.
