VIDEO - A crash involving a fire truck in West Philadelphia left several firefighters injured Sunday morning.
Fire officials said the crash, in which a vehicle partially rolled over, happened about 10 a.m. at 55th Street and Baltimore Avenue. Authorities confirmed that Philadelphia Fire Department Ladder 13 was involved in the crash. NBC10's Randy Gyllenhaal reported from the scene that five firefighters were taken to the hospital, one of whom was transported as a trauma alert initially but was doing better by about 11:45 a.m. Four parked cars were damaged in the crash. Photos from the block show one car completely crushed under the front of the ladder truck. Witnesses told Gyllenhaal that the truck appeared to be responding to a call when the driver lost control and hit parked cars along Baltimore Avenue.
Ladder 13's firehouse is located on 52nd Street near Willows Avenue, about four blocks from the site of the crash.
