| Driver charged with 5 counts of manslaughter in wreck with Oklahoma firetruck VIDEOS: The driver of the car who wrecked with a Tulsa firetruck on Feb. 26 is facing five counts of manslaughter and one count of driving under the influence, according to court documents. The wreck happened around 5:30 p.m. when 28-year-old Keiosha Rucker, driving a white Hyundai, pulled in front of a Tulsa fire truck that was responding with lights and sirens to a call. A neighbor in the area of 41st and Harvard caught the wreck on his security camera. Tulsa police said the impact of the wreck caused the car to spin off the road and crash into a telephone pole. Six people were in the car — a one-year-old boy, a 4-year-old girl, a 5-year-old boy, and three women aged 23, 26, and 28. The wreck claimed the lives of all three children and the 23-year-old woman.

KUSA-TV NBC/MYNETWORKTV 9 DENVER Maxim fire engine celebrates 100th birthday at Massachusetts fire station PHOTOS: The red paint of the 1923 Maxim fire engine glistened in the afternoon sunlight as it stood in front of the Northborough fire station. "It's more than just a truck. It's more than just steel on wheels," said Shay Bailey. Members of the Northborough Firefighters Association are celebrating the engine's 100th birthday. "There's a lot of pride in this truck," said Paul Fiske. Inside the hood ornament bears the name Maxim Motor Companies, which was headquartered in Middleborough, and from which the town purchased the engine in 1922. According to David Hunt, at that time, the Northborough Fire Department was all-volunteer. The engine, which cost $8,000, was custom made by Maxim. "We were a very big Maxim fire department, but this is the first and the best pump that they had at the time when they went to gasoline-powered equipment," said Hunt.
