A Wichita fire truck was involved in a crash Friday morning in downtown.

An Eagle reporter who witnessed the collision said the fire truck had its emergency lights and sirens activated and was headed south in the northbound lanes of Main Street, near Second Street, when a white car turned in front of it. The car was driving south, attempting to turn into the parking lot of a law office at the time.

The fire truck struck the car around 10 a.m.

The car’s driver was examined by EMS and did not want to go to the hospital, a fire investigator said.

Police were blocking traffic in the area immediately after the collision.
