FDNY driver apparent seizure sparks parked-car pileup

The driver of FDNY's Ladder truck 120 apparently suffered a seizure behind the wheel and slammed into a parked car, which sparked a pileup and damaged to at least 10 parked vehicles.

A firefighter suffered an apparent seizure driving a ladder truck in Brooklyn on Wednesday night, slamming into several parked cars, sources said.

FDNY Ladder 120 went off the road at St. Mark’s Ave. and East New York Ave. in Brownsville about 6:15 p.m., sparking a chain reaction that damaged at least 10 parked cars.

The impact stacked an SUV atop another car, which was shoved into a third.

Medics took the driver and five firefighters to Brookdale University Hospital with unspecified injuries, FDNY officials said. The FDNY had no additional info on the condition of thetruck’s driver. The crash remained under investigation.

The driver is serious condition with non-life-threatening injuries, an FDNY source said. He’s being evaluated to determine if he had a medical episode at the wheel, the source said.

“They took him out right away and put him on a stretcher. He was shaking like he had a seizure,” said Rafael Sanchez, 62, who witnessed the crash.

At first, he said, it looked like the truck was trying to weave through traffic and lost control, he said. The truck hit an SUV and sent it flying.

“The first car he hit went up in the air and landed on the second row of cars,” Sanchez said. “It was like a row of dominoes, a slow loud rumble.”
