A vehicle driven by an alleged drunk driver collided with Modesto Fire Department Engine 11 late Friday, reports The Modesto Bee.

Minor damage and no injuries were reported, and Lisa Marie Sanchez was cited and released on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI, officials say.

Officials add that the engine had its lights and sirens activated and was headed south on Tully Road when it slowed to make a left onto Palmilla Drive.

Sanchez was headed north on Tully and didn’t have her headlights on. The head-on collision was reported at 11:59 p.m., the report says.

Details of Sanchez’ age, city of residence, and vehicle were not available.
