CFD Crash

Looks like CFD is going to need another pool ladder truck:

  • A driver crashed into a Chicago Fire Department fire engine early Sunday morning on the Eisenhower Expressway and was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and issued citations for Move Over Law violations, according to Illinois State Police.

    ISP says that just after 4:30 a.m., troopers responded to I-290 eastbound at Morgan Street in Chicago for a crash involving a CFD fire engine. Preliminary information indicated the fire truck was blocking lanes of traffic to protect a previous crash scene, with lights activated, when it was hit by a black 2018 Nissan.

    According to ISP, the driver of the fire truck was taken to an area hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

The truck was blocking multiple lanes from a previous crash and was thankfully only occupied by the driver as the rest of the crew was busy with the initial call.

Best wishes to the driver for a speedy recovery.

Those IDOT minuteman also don’t get enough praise they basically sacrifice themselves by sitting blocking a lane for a stalled car or assisting ISP covering a lane for them

Maybe the city should be placed under federal oversight?
To actually spend taxpayer dollars for the safety of the taxpaying public?
Oversight of irresponsible Democrats is long overdue in Cook County and Illinois.

They're doing God's work. I've had them help me out a couple times, using power tools to change a tire just to get it over faster.
