A firefighter is in the Intensive Care Unit at Mount St John’s Medical Centre following a freak accident on Monday morning at VC Bird International Airport.
Fire Chief Elvis Weaver said the incident occurred at around 9.10am when one of the emergency fire trucks attached to the airport was taken on a routine test run.
He confirmed that, based on the investigations thus far, it appears as though there was a mechanical malfunction that may have caused the brakes to fail or accelerator pedal to become stuck.
