Once the crew finished helping the victim, they went back to the rescue truck and drove off. The water on the road caused the driver to lose control and crash shortly after, according to MDFR.
Traffic along the southbound lanes near Quail Roost Drive, where the crash occurred, was not affected.
However, delays mounted on the northbound side as curious drivers slowed down to look at the scene.
According to officials, three crew members inside the truck during the crash were transported to Jackson South Medical Center, one as a trauma alert.
The victims are said to be in stable condition.
The crew was not responding to a call at the time of the crash.
