At least one firefighter is going to the hospital after a collision involving a fire truck in Kitchener.
The truck was on its way to an emergency this morning when it collided with a four-door car in the intersection of Cedar and Charles Streets just after 11 AM.
The truck and the car crashed onto a Cedar Street sidewalk, shearing off a hydro pole. The pole was left hanging by its wires, resting on the side of the fire truck.
The crash also took out the traffic lights at the intersection.
Fire officials say the response to the original emergency may have been affected by the absence of the truck, but paramedics would still have arrived.
It is not know at this time how the collision happened, if anyone was at fault, or if any charges will be laid.
