Excerpts from hoiabc.com:
The Peoria Fire Department was called about 2:40 p.m. Wednesday to a three-vehicle collision on NE Randolph and Hamilton Boulevard in which one of the cars rolled on its side. An engine on its way to the crash scene was hit by another vehicle at Columbia Terrace and North Street.
Four of the seven people injured in the initial collision were taken to a local hospital. They were expected to be treated and released. Three others declined hospital treatment.
No one was hurt in the second crash, including the three firefighters. Police ticketed the other driver. The engine had damage to the rear axle and bumper, and will be repaired.
This from Eric Haak:
Engine 16 was involved in a 1B accident at 39th and Wallace while responding to a working fire two blocks away 6/15616. A pin-in response was requested shortly after Engine 16 notified the office that they had been involved. Squad 1 was held up on the working fire and then continued on to the accident. The last image shows the minimal damage to the engine. One member of the engine was transported to Christ Hospital.
