A 73-year-old woman has been charged in connection with a crash that took a fire truck out of commission.
The crash happened on Nov. 11 at the intersection of Cedar and Charles streets. The woman was travelling west on Charles when she collided with a Kitchener Fire truck with its lights and sirens on.
The truck left the road and hit a hydro pole. The truck, a pumper, sustained significant damage to its front end. Another truck from the Kitchener fire fleet was brought in as a replacement while repairs were made.
On Monday, police said they had charged the driver, a Kitchener woman, with failing to stop at a red light
