Firefighters with the Asheville (NC) Fire Department were involved in an accident that caused the apparatus they were traveling in to flip over.

WSPA reported that members of Ladder 11 were involved in a crash but that all members were checked out at the hospital and released.

According to WYFF 4, the fire truck was traveling westbound on I-26 when it tried to avoid something in the roadway and swerved, causing the rig to overturn in the eastbound lane and crash into a guardrail.

This fire apparatus crash was one of several over the weekend, including an apparatus rollover in Henrico County, Virginia, and a tanker rollover in Texas.
