PHOTOS: Four firefighters were transported to the hospital after their fire truck overturned Saturday morning. Police reported to a crash on the intersection of East 30th Street and North Hawthorne Lane just before 11:30 a.m. Aug. 3. IFD Battalion Chief Rita Reith told 13News that the firefighters were heading to a nearby fatal crash on Massachusetts Avenue and East 30th Street when their truck overturned. According to IFD, two firetrucks were attempting to maneuver around slowed traffic and a "wide load" that was being escorted by Indiana State Police officers. One firetruck was successful, but the other was not. It was a scene where IFD firefighters had to rescue their own. "It was tragic," witness John Galada said. "It skipped and went sideways and flipped over on its side and rolled over to its back."
