According to a report from FOX2, a Detroit (MI) Fire Department (DFD) apparatus was struck by a Lincoln Navigator, knocking it into a gas station at Dequindre and State Fair on Wednesday night, injuring seven people, including three firefighters. All are expected to recover.

The collision between the fire truck and SUV sent the fire truck careening into a Citgo gas station, hitting the pumps and then striking another vehicle before coming to a rest in front of the station store.

The DFD truck was heading to a call on I-75. 

Detroit police say it is unclear who is at fault at this point in the investigation.
