A South Carolina volunteer firefighter was charged with driving under the influence after crashing a firetruck into a street sign on Monday and flipping it.
John Hendrix Jr., 36, was responding to a call in Starr, about 40 miles southwest of Greenville, at about 7:25 p.m. when his truck veered off the road and flipped, officials said.
Hendrix hit a culvert on the roadside and ran into a street sign before the vehicle overturned, authorities said.
