Fire truck struck while responding to emergency
An emergency vehicle was struck as it responded to a fire call Sunday afternoon. Five people were taken to the hospital.
A witness told ABC-7 the car that hit the fire truck was to blame.
“We had noticed the fire truck was coming eastbound and had slowed in the intersection and this car ran the red light and hit him and did a 360 (degree turn),” a woman told ABC-7.
The crash happened on Paisano and Gateway East around 3 p.m.
Three emergency responders and two people in the car were taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
The fire truck was on the way to the Casa Clark apartment complex at 134 Clark St. in central El Paso when it was hit. No one was injured in the fire, but several residents were displaced.
