A Denver firefighter was injured this afternoon when the engine he was riding in got into a traffic accident in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
The accident happened at about 1:25 p.m. at the intersection of East Colfax Avenue and Washington Street, said Sonny Jackson, a Denver Police Department spokesman.
The fire engine was "running hot" with its siren on and lights flashing, Jackson said.
A woman in a car came to a stop and then the driver changed her mind and thought she could cross in front of the engine, Jackson said.
The injured firefighter complained of back pain was taken to a hospital. Read more about it HERE.
