VIDEO: Two volunteer firefighters were critically injured Thursday when a tanker truck from the Ingalls Volunteer Fire Department crashed on Highway 51, about 10 miles east of Stillwater, Oklahoma, after a tire failure caused it to leave the roadway.

The tanker, fully loaded with water, suffered a catastrophic failure of a front steering tire while traveling westbound, according to a statement from the Ingalls Volunteer Fire Department on social media. The failure caused the truck to crash through guardrails, roll over, and come to rest in a wooded area near West Point Road.

Good Samaritans driving on Highway 51 helped rescue one of the firefighters trapped inside the truck, while the Stillwater Fire Department extricated the other. Both firefighters were awake and alert when they were airlifted to a trauma center in Tulsa.

The Ingalls Fire Department stated that, out of respect for the firefighters, their names will not be released at this time. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the tire failure.
