A Stafford County volunteer firefighter was injured in a crash while responding to a call in Louisa County.
The unidentified woman, a career firefighter in Louisa County, was ejected from a fire engine when it crashed on Sunday, July 9, 2023. She was taken to a hospital, where she is in stable condition.
The crash occurred in Louisa County, about an hour southwest of Stafford.
Virginia State Police: “At approximately 2:50 p.m. yesterday (July 9), Virginia State Police responded to a single-vehicle crash involving a Mineral Volunteer Fire Department fire engine.
“The 2002 fire engine ran off the road and struck a tree while on it’s way to a call for service in the area of 2363 Peach Grove Rd. in Louisa County. It was raining at the time of the crash.”
“The driver, a 39-year-old male from Culpeper, was taken by ambulance to the hospital and suffered serious but non-life- threatening injuries. A 20-year-old female passenger from Fredericksburg, was ejected from the engine and was flown by med-flight to UVA University Hospital. She suffered serious, life-threatening injuries. Both were wearing their seatbelts.”
“This crash remains under investigation with the assistance of the Virginia State Police Division I Crash Reconstruction Team.”
According to Stafford Fire and Rescue spokeswoman Katie Brady, the woman has also been a volunteer member in that county, with Company 2 (Stafford), for 18 months.
A doctor discharged the second crash victim. Several people commented supporting the injured firefighters on the Louisa County Fire and Rescue Facebook page.

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
