Hey, have heard or seen any of the pictures coming from Houston about their vehicle collision? From the reports that they have put out upto this point sounds like someone called in smoke, possible house fire, and a ladder truck and an engine collided in an intersection. The pumper hit the side of the ladder truck causing it to overturn. The ladder landed on the front half of a car and also caught someone that was riding her bike on the sidewalk. The person in the car was able to remove herself from the vehicle and transported to the hospital. The person on the bike is still sedated with head injuries. The way it sounds, the person driving the ladder is at fault for running the red light. The call ended up being the Houston sewer department smoking the sewer line. So false alarm, no damage done? Wrong, that false alarm is going to cost a lot of money and manpower!!!
Lesson learned: If the light is red stop and clear the intersection prior to proceeding through. Also, be aware of other units responding to the same call!!
