Shauna Stiles, lead teacher for Maine-Endwell Middle School's art department and adviser of Art Club, has recruited several of her fellow teachers and students to create a mural for the Endwell Fire Station's fitness room.

Police said the car was a rental, but it was unclear why the teen was driving it. It had not been reported stolen.

The car crashed into the fire truck at the intersection of Sheridan and Glasgow avenues before 8 a.m. 

The front of the pumper truck was smashed, and the car came to rest in a grassy area. The 16-year-old driver and passenger in the car were trapped for a short time.
