A second firefighter who was a passenger in the San Diego Fire-Rescue F-350 that crashed in Texas simply said that the pickup"ran off of the road."One of the three San Diego firefighters driving to Florida to help provide support after Hurricane Helene told investigators the serious crash they were involved in was possibly caused by their driver,"who may have fallen asleep," according to crash investigators.
San Diego Battalion Chief Aide Barbat and two captains, Jesse Schultz and Greg Davies, were riding in a San Diego Fire-Rescue pickup truck headed to North Carolina to help with hurricane relief efforts on Sept. 29 when their 2006 F-350 went off the road on Interstate 20 near the Texas-Louisiana border at 3:34 a.m. on Interstate 20.
According to the report, the firefighter riding in the back seat, who is not identified in the report, told investigators that Barbat"may have fallen asleep," while the other man, who was in the front passenger seat, simply said that the pickup"ran off of the road." Neither drugs nor alcohol are believed to have played a role in the crash, according to the report.All three of the men survived and are back in San Diego.
Three San Diego firefighters on their way to North Carolina as part of the response to Hurricane Helene were injured in a vehicle crash. NBC7's Jeanette Quezada has the details.
