Another good reason not to let younger members respond emergency to the station?
PENN LAIRD - A 17-year-old Spotswood High School student died in an early-morning crash Friday on his way to his job as a volunteer firefighter, officials say.
At about 1 a.m., police say Roy Dale Smith III was traveling northbound on Island Ford Road near Elkton when he entered a curve, ran off the right side of the road, overcorrected and ran off the left side of the road. His 1996 Isuzu Rodeo then traveled down a small embankment, flipped several times and struck a power box.
Smith, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle. He died at the scene, according to Sgt. L. Tyler of the Virginia State Police.
"The usage of seat belts may have prevented some of the injuries and possibly the death in this accident," said Tyler, adding that the investigation is ongoing, but it appears fog and speed may have played a factor.
