One person was sent to the hospital Wednesday morning after a Dallas fire truck hydroplaned while responding to an emergency call and collided with another car during a heavy thunderstorm, fire officials say.
It happened at about 11:15 a.m. along Garland Road near Winsted Drive, near the White Rock Lake Spillway in Dallas.
Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans said the fire engine was responding to a fire call and had its lights and sirens on when its driver lost control and hydroplaned. The fire truck crashed into another car before coming to a stop in the grass off the street.
The person in the car that was hit was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, Evans said.
