Orlando, FL (December 21, 2018) - A crash involving a fire truck from the Orlando Fire Department left three firefighters injured on Thursday, December 21st. The firefighters were in the process of responding to a motor vehicle crash on eastbound 408 around 11:00 pm when their fire truck was rear-ended by another vehicle.
The three firefighters suffered non-life-threatening injuries as a result of the collision. The driver of the car that rear-ended the fire truck sustained serious injuries, which were also not considered life-threatening. The eastbound lanes of 408 were closed to investigate the crash but later reopened. The driver has not been identified and it is unclear if any charges were filed following the crash.
