The firetruck was headed to a 911 call about a structure
fire when it collided with a cement mixer near the intersection of South 2nd

Chevy pickup truck after the collision.
Authorities said the four firefighters were taken to
Baylor University Medical Center with injuries that were not life threatening.
The drivers of the cement and pickup trucks were also taken to nearby

the crash.
