TRENTON, N.J. — A 46-year-old bicyclist suffered minor injuries when he collided with a turning Trenton fire truck Thursday evening, the fire department said.

The fire truck, the vehicle operated by Rescue Co. 1, was not on an emergency call and not moving fast when the 5:25 p.m. collision occurred on North Clinton Avenue at Prince Street, Battalion Chief Michael Welsh said.

Rescue 1 was returning to their headquarters after a training session at Mercer County College when they were headed south on North Clinton Avenue in evening traffic. The firefighter driving the truck made a right onto Prince Street and the bicyclist, who was also headed south, basically rode into the side of the truck, Welsh said.
