Two people suffered critical injuries in Walnut Creek, while another person in Fremont sustained minor injuries after cars hit fire trucks in separate accidents
Two separate crashes where cars rammed into fire trucks happened on 680 on Saturday morning, the first in Fremont at around 7 a.m., and then in Walnut Creek around 10 a.m.
While providing first aid to a patient at the scene, a fire engine parked to protect the accident scene, then was struck by two separate vehicles at different times. A short while after the Fremont accident, two people were critically injured Saturday morning when their car slammed into a Contra Costa County Fire Protection District ladder truck, which was blocking traffic on Interstate 680 in Walnut Creek after an earlier wreck on the freeway.
Four firefighters were in the ladder truck when it was hit, Ottolini said. None of them appeared to be injured immediately after the crash, he said, though all of them went to a hospital to be evaluated as a precaution.
