Briteline Blasts Fire Truck !

Delrey Beach Fire Rescue truck makes a critical mistake at a rail crossing.

While responding to a call, the firetruck made a common mistake by going around the gate without realize another train was coming fast.
The other train was a Briteline commuter train and caught the rear end of the firetruck slicing it in two.

What is not clear is whether the driver of the fire truck thought he had enough time to make it across the intersection or they just didn’t see the train coming. The firetruck had its flashing lights on at the time.

As a result of the crash, three firefighters were taken to the hospital in stable condition. Another 12-15 train passengers where also treated for minor injuries.
