VIDEO: A Detroit fire engine on a run through an intersection, hitting a truck and smashing into a store sign, was captured on video. The incident, which occurred on Saturday (May 11) at the intersection of Puritan Avenue and Schaefer Highway, is just one of many instances involving fire vehicles that have been reported. Officials said the crash was so severe the rig airbags went off, but no patient was in the ambulance when it flipped. Local 4 was told that no medics or the other driver were injured. But, while looking into the numbers, we’re told that Detroit fire engine operators have been hitting parked cars, causing damage to firehouse doors incredibly rapidly, including Tuesday morning. The driver of Tuesday’s engine crash backed into a woman’s car in a parking lot on Woodward Avenue.
