A crew from the Los Angeles County Fire Department was involved in a traffic collision on Tuesday in Santa Clarita. The incident occurred when the crew responded to reports of an earlier collision at Whites Canyon Road and Nadal Street around 1:23 p.m., according to county fire officials.
Video footage shared on the Citizen App captured the moment when the county fire engine seemingly veered off course, jumping the curb and crashing into a brick wall in front of a residential property. The impact caused significant damage to the front of the firetruck, with noticeable dents in its grill and shattered windows. Additionally, bricks from the damaged fence were scattered across the front yard.
Limited information is currently available regarding what led to this crash or whether another vehicle was involved. Authorities have not provided any details about potential injuries sustained by those involved either. However, at approximately 1:45 p.m., one victim was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Unfortunately, no further information has been disclosed about their gender, age, or whether they were part of the firefighting team.
Investigations into this incident are ongoing as authorities work towards determining all relevant factors that contributed to this unfortunate accident involving members of Los Angeles County Fire Department's crew.
