Four People Injured in Crash Involving Dallas Fire Apparatus

Authorities say four people were injured when a fire truck collided with a car in Dallas Thursday morning.

Dallas police said a Dallas Fire-Rescue truck was returning to the fire station when it collided with a sedan in the 7000 block of Great Trinity Forest Way near Jim Miller Road at 1:40 a.m.

Police said an 18-year-old woman driving the sedan changed lanes and turned in the past of the fire truck, which caused the fire truck to crash into the back of the sedan.

The crashed claimed the lives of LaShae Johnson, 16, of Tallmadge, and Briyana Hayes, 15, of Akron.

The driver is charged with red light, two counts of vehicular homicide, two counts of vehicular manslaughter, vehicular assault, operating a vehicle on a temporary permit without a licensed driver and operating vehicle with more than one juvenile passenger.

Cocoa (FL) Police Say Woman Stole Vintage Fire Apparatus

A woman, accused of stealing an antique fire truck months ago, has been arrested. Cocoa police detectives said 60-year-old Stephanie Carder-Gallon stole the vehicle from a neighborhood last October, during Hurricane Matthew, as she looked for scrap metal.

"This is a very big mistake. I work at Patrick's Air Force Base," said Carder-Gallon, as she appeared before a judge. "I'm not a violent person. I don't commit these crimes. I never stole a fire truck."

According to police, Carder-Gallon arranged to have the vehicle towed to a scrap yard and received $300 for it. The owner of the fire truck, Charles Fischer, called police when he realized the truck had been taken. He said a friend later spotted it online for sale.
