On Sunday evening, Brandon Fire and Emergency Services and Brandon Police Service responded to 18th St. and Willowcrest Ave for a collision between a motorcycle and a pickup truck. It appeared that the motorcycle ended up nearly underneath the front of the truck, but didn't appear that it was fully run over. Fire crews deployed sand to soak up a fluid spill, and an ambulance left the scene non-emergent with the motorcycle rider.
