Sun City Center, FL (July 12, 2018) – At Sun City Center, an accident left a firefighter seriously injured when he fell from a firetruck. He was on his way to an emergency call, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.

The incident happened on Tuesday and the firefighter was in the hospital until yesterday in the afternoon. The engine was traveling north and leaving Station 28. As the fire engine turned left onto Sun City Center Boulevard, Dowd fell out of the truck and onto the roadway. He had been in the right front seat at the time.
