A firefighter was reportedly trapped in the driver's seat of a fire truck after a crash at Man o' War Boulevard and Nichols Park Drive Monday afternoon. The firefighter was said to have minor injuries. Crews were called to the scene at 4:42 p.m., after the truck collided with a four-door passenger car that damaged the door of the fire truck, trapping the firefighter inside.
The firefighter had minor injuries, but the driver of the sedan was in critical condition, said police Lt. Andrew Daugherty. No other firefighters were injured.
The fire truck was responding to a call with lights and sirens when the wreck occurred after the intersection, Daugherty said.
The silver sedan on the outer loop of Man o’ War jumped the median and collided with Fire Engine 15 on the inner loop, Daugherty said. The truck hit the passenger side of the car, he said.
