A traffic accident involving a Winston-Salem Fire Department truck and a passenger vehicle resulted in two people being sent to the hospital, the department said in a Facebook post.
The crash occurred Sunday, July 27, 2025, when a 2014 Nissan pulled into an intersection and into the path of a fire truck with emergency lights and siren activated. The fire apparatus was unable to stop and collided with the Nissan in the intersection, the fire department said.
The driver and passenger of the Nissan were taken to a medical facility with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. No firefighters were injured.
The Winston-Salem Police Department Traffic Enforcement Unit (TEU) responded to the scene and assumed responsibility for this investigation.
This investigation is in its early stages, and no additional information is available at this time.
