One person is dead after a Wednesday morning collision involving a Hardeeville Fire Department Ford F-550 fire truck, a Nissan sedan, and another Ford pickup truck in Hardeeville, reports islandpacket.com.
A 2007 Nissan and the fire apparatus were both headed north on U.S. 17 when the vehicles collided at 7:24 a.m. The crash caused the Nissan to hit a southbound 2005 Ford pickup truck.
