MESQUITE, Texas --
A semi trailer sideswiped a fire truck on westbound Interstate 30 in Mesquite sending four firefighters to a hospital.
The fire engine was at the scene of an automobile accident on the westbound lanes of the highway east of Northwest Drive when it was struck at about 1:15 p.m.
Four fire personnel on board the engine were taken to Baylor Medical Center in Dallas with non-life-threatening injuries.
Six people in the semi truck refused medical treatment at the scene.
All but one lane of westbound Interstate-30 was closed tying up traffic.
If the truck was from Toronto, I would automatically assume it was just full of our newest drivers from Pakistan. We've had incidents of unlicensed drivers taking controls while the one licensed driver slept, with the inevitable accident. A local trucker was killed here a coule of years ago when the one licensed driver went into the bunk and put his unlicensed nephew at the wheel. He lost control, went across the median and hit the other truck head-on. Killed all three of them.
