Summary
A 77-year-old man in North Carolina was struck in the back by a detached windshield from a fire engine that flipped over while en route to an emergency—sending shards flying into his yard as he was weed-eating. Two firefighters and the civilian were hospitalized, but all are expected to recover. Authorities are investigating the crash on Piney Grove Road, where the truck veered off, rolled, and slammed into a tree. This bizarre, high-speed accident is raising questions—and no one’s quite sure how the windshield came loose. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
