Los Angeles (CA) Fire Department Engine Hit in Fatal Multi-Vehicle Accident

A woman died after a multi-vehicle crash involving a Los Angeles Fire Department engine in North Hills early Thursday, reports ktla.com.

It all started when a vehicle was heading east on Roscoe Boulevard shortly after midnight when the driver allegedly ran a red light, struck a vehicle, and continued driving, the report says.

The car then crashed into a different vehicle carrying a 76-year-old woman, who died at the scene.

The driver wasn’t done, though, as the car kept going and wound up hitting the fire apparatus, according to the report.

When all was said and done, the scene was littered with carnage from the heavily damaged vehicles.
