WARREN, Mich. --

A fire truck tipped over on its side Tuesday afternoon when it was involved in a crash on 9 Mile Road in Warren.

The crash happened near the intersection of Sherwood Avenue.

Witness Marvin Newton said a tractor-trailer hit the truck, then clipped a car and knocked down a utility pole before halting to a stop on a curb.

"He had the green light but the fire truck has got the right of way. It had the flashing lights on and the siren and the horn and was making noise," Newton said. "He smacked that fire truck good."

Four firefighters suffered minor injuries.

The truck driver was not hurt.
