Car Wreck
People are evacuated and traffic is at a standstill after a Spring Volunteer Fire Department truck and van collided in far northwest Harris County this afternoon, sending three people to the hospital.
The wreck occurred about 12:30 p.m. in the 3600 block of FM 2920, said Chief Mark Herman of Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office.
The van's driver is trapped inside his cab and workers are trying to get him out.
The fire truck, which was headed eastbound on FM 2920 in response to a motorcycle wreck, overturned.
No information was immediately available about possible injuries, Herman said. Two firefighters and the van's driver were transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Deputies have closed FM 2920 in both directions near the crash site as workers clear the area.
An unknown substance spilled from the van in the crash and crews were cleaning it up.
People in the immediate area were evacuated as a precaution because of possible danger from the chemical.
The pumper truck was on an emergency call with its siren blaring and lights flashing when the crash happened, Herman said. He said he doesn't what caused the wreck or where or why the firefighters had been dispatched.
