Driver killed, pregnant pedestrian critically injured after crash between fire truck and car

WASHINGTON - D.C. Fire and EMS say the driver of a car that crashed with a fire truck has died from his injuries. A pregnant woman who was struck while standing on a sidewalk during the crash was critically injured.

Investigators say the collision happened at 12:15 p.m. Friday as the fire truck was responding to a report of the smell of smoke.

According to investigators, the fire truck drove through a green light at Rhode Island Avenue and 12th Street, NE, when a gold Honda car coming through the intersection was t-boned by the fire truck. A witness said the truck had its lights on when it happened.

The pregnant victim was also transported to the hospital in critical condition. A firefighter suffered minor injuries, but is expected to be okay.
