WASHINGTON (AP) -- Ten people were injured in a collision involving a compact car and a D-C fire truck Sunday evening.
''A 31 year-old woman apparently had nine children in the vehicle,'' said District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services spokesman Alan Etter. He added that none of the occupants of the vehicle were wearing seat belts when it struck a parked and unoccupied fire department ladder truck.
The incident occurred around 8:15 p.m. as crews from two fire trucks were responding to an automatic fire alarm at an apartment building in the 1300 block of Congress Street, SE.
We medivaced three children and the most seriously injured is a nine year-old boy who was unconscious and may have critical injuries,'' said Etter. Seven other occupants of the car, including the driver, were transported by ambulance to Howard University Hospital.
