Boston, MA (NewYorkInjuryNews.com) – Firefighters responded to a house fire call when the Fire Department SUV was hit by a vehicle that ran a red light injuring Fire Chief, and other passengers Monday afternoon, announced Boston Globe.
The Fire engine sirens roared and the lights flashed with the Department SUV following closely behind to respond to a house fire when the SUV was struck by a 1998 Audi, which had run a red light, causing the SUV to crash into St. Andrews Church. The Audi was driven by the fiancé of the woman who made the call about the fire, which the Boston Fire Department was responding to.
The man, identified as Victor Cowart, was rushing home to check on his fiancée when he slammed into the Fire Department SUV injuring 3 people- including the fire chief, on his way home to Jamaica Plain.

Three people—the Fire Chief, the driver, and a small child— were injured in the Boston Fire Department SUV. Medical officials reported their injuries to be only minor. As it turned out, the emergency call for the house fire was only a smoke alarm that was triggered for burning food. Both the SUV and the Audi were badly damaged. Cowart was given a ticket for failure to yield and may be fined $100 according to investigating police.
Cowart reportedly flew through a red light when he crashed into the Department SUV. The Boston firefighters were transported via ambulance to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. The child and Cowart had both been transported to Boston Medical Center to be assessed by doctors and nurses. The crash remains under investigation.
