A Maryland man is facing numerous charges after crashing his vehicle into the back of a fire truck along Interstate-95 in Virginia while driving under the influence with three children who were "not properly restrained" in his vehicle, police say.
The incident involving Ricardo Rodriguez-Montoya, 41, happened late Thursday outside of Fredericksburg, according to the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office.
"The investigation by Deputy L.T. Ward revealed a Stafford County fire truck was stationary on the scene of an accident with emergency equipment activated," police said in a statement. "An intoxicated driver drove directly into the rear of the fire truck injuring his four passengers and a firefighter."
The deputy that responded to the crash also "discovered there were three children in Rodriguez-Montoya’s vehicle and they were not properly restrained," the sheriff’s office said.
