VIDEO/PHOTO: A firefighter is expected to survive after an FDNY fire truck jumped a curb and slammed into parked vehicles in Brooklyn.
The accident happened just after 6 p.m. Wednesday at East New York Avenue and St. Marks Avenue in Brownsville.
Sources say the truck had been stopped at a traffic light on East New York Avenue when the driver suffered some sort of seizure.
The FDNY chauffeur's foot hit the accelerator and the truck veered left, slamming into a row of parked cars by a NYCHA project with such force, one of them went airborne.
"This is crazy," said eyewitness Vanessa Fernandez. "I've never seen an accident like this. I've seen my share of accidents but never like this."
FDNY Ladder 120 was heading back to the firehouse on Watkins Street, and did not have lights or sirens on at the time.
Police say at least a dozen cars were damaged.
