According to a report from NBC5, one person was transported to the hospital after a Dallas Fire-Rescue (DFR) apparatus hydroplaned while responding to an emergency call and hit a car during a heavy thunderstorm at around 11:15 a.m. Wednesday morning.
The accident occurred on Garland Road near Winsted Drive and the White Rock Lake Spillway in Dallas.
Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans said DFR’s engine was responding to a call for fire with its lights and sirens blaring when the driver lost control and hydroplaned. The truck then collided with another car before settling in the grass off the road.
The driver of the car was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Evans said. No firefighters were injuries.
The fire truck was then towed away later during the day. Evans also said the vehicle sustained significant damage.
