Close call on 522

Should anybody need reminding, Rappahannock Fire & Rescue volunteers risk their lives day in and day out to protect county residents.

That said, we are happy to report there were no injuries last Wednesday when a Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad ambulance, its siren blaring as it rolled south on Route 522 between Woodville and Scrabble, collided with a vehicle pulling out of Fox Creek Lane.

The vehicle “was totaled,” its driver told this newspaper, while the ambulance had “considerable” damage, according to a Sperryville volunteer.
