The Tennessee Highway Patrol is investigating after a Dandridge firefighter has a medical episode and crashes his truck, towing a boat, into a building.
Fire Chief Andrew Riley says no one was seriously injured yesterday (Wednesday) morning after the fireman, Logan Inman, lost consciousness behind the wheel and crashed the command truck, which was towing the department’s boat for service, into a building near Main Street in downtown.
During the crash, the truck hit two parked cars, which helped save the building from seeing major damage and potentially stopped an employee inside from getting hurt.
Inman was taken to the hospital and his passenger left the crash with bumps and bruises.
The truck was totaled and the boat saw major damage. The Jefferson County Rescue Squad has a boat of their own for on-water emergency response.
