One of the Fort Worth firefighters injured in the fire engine rollover crash early Tuesday morning has been released from the hospital, officials said. Another remains hospitalized but was moved out of the intensive care unit.
Firefighter Clint Robinson, 42, went home Thursday afternoon after undergoing surgery on Wednesday , according to Zac Shaffer, vice president of the Fort Worth Professional Firefighters Association.
Capt. Daniel Terrell, 46, was transferred out of ICU on Thursday, Shaffer said. Terrell was in the front passenger seat when the fire truck crashed and rolled and he sustained life-threatening injuries, according to the department. Terrell was breathing on his own and showing other signs of improvement Wednesday.
In a statement shared by the fire department on social media, Robinson said. “My family and I are aware of the countless comments and prayers. We don’t know how to say ‘thank you’ because there is no way we could thank each and every one of you. But we are so grateful.”
