Two firefighters have been sent to hospital after a tractor-trailer collided into a fire truck.
The fire truck was on the scene of an earlier collision blocking a live lane - WB #Hwy401/Newtonville Rd. 2:30am.
The fire fighters were inside their vehicle at the time of the collision. The injuries are considered non-life threatening.
I expect two more hours before a full reopening of the highway. #SlowDownMoveOver ^ks

I was nearly hit by a driver who ran a stale red light tonight… They waved 👋so I guess it’s okay 😡… then I saw this and I had to share the #DashCam footage and rant. There are far too many drivers who appear to be clueless as to how they must respond to #Emergency vehicles.
