One or two firefighters (conflicting reports) are said to have minor injuries after a collision this afternoon between a fire engine and a tractor-trailer in Warren, Michigan. It happened at 9 Mile Road near Sherwood. So far all of the information is coming from the police department. They report the engine was staffed with four. More details from DetroitNews.com:
Warren Deputy Police Commissioner Louis Galasso said the fire truck was hit shortly after 1:30 p.m. when it was dispatched from the fire station at Nine Mile and Van Dyke to a medical emergency.
Galasso said the rig was westbound on Nine Mile near Sherwood with its emergency equipment activated when it was broadsided by the semi-truck traveling southbound. The crash flipped the fire truck on its side.
Galasso said after hitting the rig, the semi continued southbound before it veered off the road and struck a utility pole. The impact knocked out power to the traffic light at Nine Mile and Sherwood.
