Two firefighters were taken to a hospital Thursday after a Los Angeles Fire Department vehicle they were in overturned as a result of a collision with another vehicle in South Los Angeles.

The crash occurred about 2:05 p.m. Thursday in the 240 block of West 108th Street, near South Broadway, according to published reports and LAFD spokesperson Jamie Stewart.

The overturned vehicle was an LAFD fast-response vehicle equipped with fire suppression and medical capabilities, Stewart said.

Two firefighters were transported to a hospital, while an adult woman in the other vehicle was evaluated at the scene but was not transported, according to Stewart.

It was unclear if the vehicle had been responding to a fire, and also unclear if it had lights and siren on.

The conditions of the firefighters and the circumstances surrounding the collision were not immediately available.
