Three Belleville firefighters were taken to the hospital Tuesday morning around 6:00 a.m. after their fire truck was involved in a crash and flipped onto its side at Route 161 and Carlyle Avenue, by Belleville East High School. Nobody was seriously hurt, and there is significant damage to both the fire truck and the SUV, which was also involved in the crash.
The three firefighters all went to the hospital for observation; two were able to get out on their own and one needed some help. The driver of the SUV refused medical treatment.
The Illinois State Police is taking the lead in the crash investigation.
