Late Sunday afternoon a brush truck from the Olive, Oklahoma Fire Department was responding to a large vegetation fire with its lights and siren operating. It overtook a mini-van and as the fire engine pulled out to pass, the driver of the mini-van applied the brakes and swerved to the left in front of the rig, causing a T-bone collision. The two civilian occupants were pronounced dead at the scene. The operator of the fire engine was treated at a hospital after his chest slammed into the steering wheel. Another firefighter on the truck was treated at the scene.
