BUENA PARK, Calif. — Police were investigating a crash Monday evening between an Orange County Fire Authority ladder truck and an SUV in Buena Park.
The crash happened shortly before 6:55 p.m. at the intersection of Western Avenue and Fillmore Drive, according to OCFA Capt. Larry Kurtz. The truck was heading to a structure fire with its lights and sirens on when the crash occurred.
The four firefighters on the truck were uninjured and the female driver of the Cadillac Escalade, a woman in her late 20s, was taken to UCI Medical Center with moderate, non-life-threatening injuries, Kurtz said.
The firetruck was scheduled to be towed away Monday night because it wasn’t drivable, he said.
Details about the cause of the crash and the identity of the SUV’s driver were not immediately available.
The crash is being investigated by Buena Park police.
