A Lexington fire truck responding to a call was hit on Nicholasville Road Wednesday morning, injuring a driver and disrupting traffic.
The crash occurred around 10 a.m. Wednesday at the Nicholasville Road and Malabu Drive intersection. Vehicles remained in the intersection more than an hour after the collision.
The driver of the car involved in the crash was sent to a hospital with injuries that weren’t life-threatening, according to Lt. Chris Van Brackel.
Three people inside the fire truck were uninjured, Van Brackel said. The firefighters were responding to a reported gas leak, and the truck’s lights and sirens were on. The woman driving the car had a green light, and she told police she did not see the fire truck, according to Van Brackel.
