First responder who survived deadly crash near Road 739 Fire heading home
The wreck killed Elwood Fire Chief Darren Krull back in April
ARAPAHOE, Neb. (KLKN) — Phelps County Emergency Manager Justin Norris is heading home after surviving a deadly crash earlier this spring.
He suffered life-threatening injuries in a wreck that killed Elwood Fire Chief Darren Krull back on April 7th.
The two men were responding to the Road 739 Fire north of Arapahoe when their truck collided with a semi in zero visibility, caused by heavy smoke.
Norris spent two weeks in a hospital before being moved to Madonna Rehab, where he’s been making rapid progress.
The father of five says he’s planning on returning to work as soon as this summer.
