2 LAFD firefighters injured after fire engine overturns in crash caught on video

SUNLAND, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Two Los Angeles firefighters in Sunland suffered minor injuries after a fire engine overturned Tuesday evening in a chaotic crash caught on video.

The crash was reported at about 6:45 p.m. at 10500 N. Mcvine Ave., just south of Foothill Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Video shows the truck suddenly losing control and flipping over. Fire officials said firefighters were responding to a structure fire.

Aerial footage from AIR7 showed a fire engine on its side resting against an H&R Block building, partially on top of a car. It's unclear if the building sustained significant damage.

Another video showed a first responder on a stretcher getting wheeled away following the collision.

The two injured firefighters were taken to a hospital to be treated for minor injuries. No other injuries were reported, the department said.

Los Angeles police are investigating to determine what caused the crash.

Two parked cars were damaged and a third was pinned under the fire engine.

Employees from a Panda Express nearby told Eyewitness News that they had to evacuate.

As cleanup and the investigation stretched on for hours, the restaurant and several others along the stretch of Foothill between Mcvine and Oro Vista avenues were forced to close early for the evening.

LAFD said it is not releasing the names of the firefighters until their families have been notified.
