Three Minquadale firefighters were injured after the fire apparatus they were responding with was struck by a tractor-trailer Thursday evening.
The apparatus was responding to a vehicle accident around 7 p.m. when the tractor-trailer struck the rear of the pumper on Interstate 295 in New Castle County.
Officials told 6ABC.com that the force of the crash caused the apparatus operator to loose control of the apparatus, which hit a guardrail, causing it to flip on its side.
Extrication was required to free the injured firefighters.
They were taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. It is not known if the driver of the tractor-trailer was injured.
