4:39 am Trucks, accident

An Elm Mott fire truck on the way to a car fire north of Waco crashed into a truck Friday.

State troopers said the accident happened around 9:00 Friday morning. The fire truck was heading northbound on the I-35 access road when, according to investigators, a truck pulled out in front of it.

The fire truck had the sirens and lights on, but troopers said the driver of the truck that pulled out wasn’t paying attention.

“The best thing you can do is pay attention, use your rear view mirrors, use your side mirrors, look behind you when you’re driving, so that you can move over and allow us to get around and the other emergency vehicles, the ambulances and fire trucks also,” State Trooper Chad Buenger said.

No one was injured in the crash and another fire truck was immediately dispatched to the car fire.
