Man Killed in Accident with D.C. Fire Truck

The driver, 32-year-old DeAngelo Green, of Northeast D.C., was pulled from the wreckage of the crash in the Brookland neighborhood and pronounced dead at a local hospital, a D.C. police department representative said.  

"I don't know how to tell my kid," said Green's wife, T'Anita Coles-Green. "My son is 2 years old. He thinks his father's always going to come through that door, and it's not him."  

A firefighter and a pedestrian — a pregnant woman — were hurt and taken to hospitals. The woman was stable but had critical injuries. The firefighter had minor injuries.   

The fire truck crashed with Green's gold Honda Accord at 12th Street NE and Rhode Island Avenue about 12:15 p.m. as the firefighters responded to a call on 4th Street NE, a fire department spokesman said. 

Green's car collided with a 2004 Ford Focus, which mounted the sidewalk, smashing a sign that said "Welcome to Brookland" and the hitting the pregnant woman, police said.
