Additionally, as first responders were arriving at the scene, slippery road conditions caused one Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services truck to slide onto the lawn of a nearby home while turning the corner from Oriole Road North onto Eagle Road North.

The truck struck a rock on the front lawn of the home, causing minimal damage to a tree. The City of Lethbridge told LNN that there were no injuries stemming from this incident.

A tow truck was called to pull the fire truck off of the property. An hour later, sanding trucks were sent to the area to mitigate the icy roads.
