One person is dead and another is seriously injured following a crash with a Franklin City Fire Department truck Thursday evening, reports wdtn.com.

Highway patrol officials were investigating another accident on I-70 north involving a tractor-trailer and a vehicle, while a department fire truck was parked in the left lane with its emergency lights activated, the report says.

Nineteen-year-old Dominique Horton, in her silver Chevrolet Cruze, then collided with the back of the apparatus, which killed her and left her passenger, 21-year-old Taylor Smith, in the hospital with serious injuries. Officials say neither party was wearing their seat belt; they suspect that excessive speed and alcohol and/or drugs played a role in the crash.

Four crew members were inside the fire truck at the time of impact, though the report notes that none of them were injured.

The news station did a dive into NJ’s Teterboro Airport, which averages about 500 flights a day. The segment notes that fire service for smaller planes requires unique training. One such piece of equipment is a general aviation aircraft simulator, which is a prop plane filled with fake smoke and a video screen displaying fire.
