At approximately 6:01 p.m. Monday, firefighters at the fire station on the 12000 block of El Monte Road on the Foothill College campus heard a vehicle crash outside the station.

Firefighters investigated and found a vehicle had driven into a masonry wall attached to the fire station.

Firefighters treated the vehicle’s sole occupant, an elderly male. Santa Clara County Fire officials said the man was transported to Stanford University Hospital in serious condition. Officials did not know whether his condition was a result of the accident or if he suffered a medical emergency prior to the crash.

Last week, the apparatus began the final assembly process, which is expected to be complete this week. It will be released for testing before making the trek to Evansville.  

The fire truck will be housed on the city’s northside at Fire Station 17 on Mill Road. There’s no word on when exactly the fire truck will be brought to Evansville.
