Early Tuesday morning, Siler City Fire Department volunteer firefighter Joshua Woods, 24, was killed in a single-vehicle collision while responding to a cardiac arrest call in his personal vehicle. He was traveling south on Silk Hope Road when his 2004 Honda Accord left the roadway at approximately 1:11 a.m.<\/p>\n

His vehicle had crossed the center line, over-corrected, and ran off the right side of the road. The vehicle struck a ditch and two trees. Woods was wearing his seat belt and his airbag deployed. Speed was likely a factor, however. He was the only occupant in the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Woods was recently married and had two sons, and was expecting a third child. He’d been serving with the Siler City Fire Department for nearly three years.<\/p>\n

He was working toward a career in law enforcement, after graduating in 2012 from Louisburg College. He had applied at the local sheriff’s office. By day, he worked in the kitchen at a local restaurant.<\/p>\n

Arrangements are pending. We’ll post a note when posted.<\/p>\n
