A naked man stole a fire truck at a South Carolina apartment complex and sped away, killing a pedestrian who was walking on a sidewalk, authorities said on Saturday.
The driver, identified as 26-year-old Kalvin Hunt, drove about three kilometers on Friday before he hit a man, careened off the road and crashed into some trees, authorities said. Hunt, who was pinned inside the fire truck, was freed by rescue workers, and then started assaulting two police officers, deputy police chief Dale McDorman told The Beaufort Gazette.
Brana Rogerson said she narrowly avoided a collision with the stolen engine, which plowed into six or seven other vehicles as it barreled through an intersection in Beaufort, which is located along the southeast coast of South Carolina.
"I've never seen a fire truck come out of nowhere like that," Rogerson said. "The truck didn't have its lights on. I knew it wasn't a fireman behind the wheel."
Justin Miller, 28, of Port Royal, was killed when he was hit as he walked with his brother.
Hunt has not yet been charged in relation to Miller's death, according to a spokesman for the South Carolina Highway Patrol, which is investigating the incident. Hunt is from Sumter, which is in the central part of the state.
Hunt was taken to Beaufort Memorial Hospital for treatment to his injuries although the hospital did have him listed as a patient. A Beaufort police spokeswoman said no one was available to comment on the crash.
