Was a 24 y/o male. Apparently he lost control of his pick up, went off the road into a ditch and was ejected. We all know the rest.

Where did this accident occur?  Obviously very few if any readers know where his department is located.  Was he in route to a call or just driving someplace?  I'm assuming since he was ejected he wasn't wearing a seatbelt which he should've been.  Can you provide a link to a local newspaper article?  It's helpful to provide as much information as possible when making a post, especially from an unknown area.

News link is www.wsmv.com/news/17282318/detail.htm.  He was a member of Sta 52. Killed in his own POV. Not on a call. Was at 4 am, no seatbelt. He is a god guy it is a shame. Also can just google White house firefighter killed in wreck on Sunday AM. Dept's name is White House Community Fire.
