A White House Community Volunteer Fire Department pumper crashed Tuesday afternoon, July 16, while responding to a call, wkrn.com reported.

According to a Facebook post from the White House Community Volunteer Fire Department, the department received a call at 4 p.m. about a vehicle reportedly leaking propane while still running. Truck 51 was responding to another call and went to respond to the alleged propane leak.

While responding, Truck 51 applied the brakes to turn left, but the truck pulled right and went into a ditch, the post said. The truck traveled about 75 feet before stopping, according to the post.

Although traffic was affected by the incident for about an hour while crews moved the rig, the department said nobody was injured. The truck received minimal damage.
