11:17 AM - 4
#IFD Firefighters transported to area hospitals after their firetruck crashed while en-route to another accident. The crew of TAC43 were en-route with lights and sirens activated and headed west on 30th street to an accident at 30th and Massachusetts.
The Tactical Truck made an attempt to maneuver around slowed traffic and a "wide load" being escorted by
#ISP officers. While Engine 43 was successful with the maneuver, TAC43 was not. No other vehicles were involved.
All 4 firefighters sustained some level of injury from minor to serious but not life threatening. They are being treated at area hospitals after being transported by
#IEMS Medics.
The efforts of the 3 ISP Officers to stop and render aid is much appreciated.
#IMPD is investigating.
