BLOXOM -- A single-vehicle crash involving a Bloxom
firetruck Monday morning fatally injured a volunteer firefighter.
David R. Chew Jr., 30, of Parksley, who worked as a medic
with the Northampton County Department of Emergency Medical Services, died in
the crash.
The accident occurred on Nelsonia Road, about a half-mile
west of Route 13. The firefighters were responding to an accident on Route 13
in Gargatha.
The accident was reported at about 11:31 a.m. An
investigation revealed that Chew, a passenger in the firetruck, was ejected,
said Virginia State Police spokeswoman Michelle Anaya.
"Mr. Chew was not wearing his safety belt at the time
of the accident and died on impact," Anaya said in a statement…
Chew, a United Methodist minister, served as chaplain of the
Bloxom Volunteer Fire Company and was a rescue lieutenant and a member of the
company's board of directors…
