ST. JOHN — The fire truck that was traveling down "one of the most dangerous hills in Coral Bay" was not responding when the driver applied brakes, leading to the deadly crash resulting in the death of Fireman Kasey Callwood. That's according to V.I. Fire Service Director Daryl George, who said the information was preliminary and that it was provided by the other firefighter and fire truck driver who was injured during the Monday accident. "He was coming down that hill and he said the truck lost power and it had no brakes and he lost control of the truck. Before it went over the ravine he tried to get the truck turned, the truck flipped causing the accident," Mr. George said. He said the driver hasn't been able to provide a full statement as he was still receiving medical care. "He had a bad head injury and was in and out," the director said.…
