A near-collision with a passenger car on Wednesday evening left a fire truck flipped upside down on the side of State Route 27, according to the Washington State Patrol (WSP). WSP officials reported that the small passenger car was traveling north on SR-27, between Oakesdale and Garfield, as a fire truck dispatched from Deary, Idaho was traveling south.

The small car reportedly veered over the center line, moving directly into oncoming traffic and causing the fire truck to have to swerve off of the roadway to avoid a collision. After evading the crash with the small car, the fire truck rolled over, before coming to rest on its top in a field next to the roadway. According to WSP officials, nobody was injured as a result of the incident.
