On the day of the accident, the Wiggins Fire Department made the following Facebook post:

“Around midnight our department was responding to a major vehicle accident when our engine got into an accident itself. The engine rolled and trapped one of our firefighters under it. The firefighter was life flighted to a hospital, but by the grace of God, is expected to make a full recovery. We are asking for prayers for the firefighter and the firefighter’s family, as well as all of us here at Wiggins Fire Department. We appreciate the support and look forward to continuing to serve our community and getting our firefighter back with us soon!”
