IMPERIAL, Mo. (KSDK)— A fire truck could not handle the icy roads in Imperial, Missouri, Monday morning.
Video of the incident shared with 5 On Your Side by Katelynn Voisey showed the fire truck spinning, sliding sideways and crashing into a parked car before coming to a stop near a home at the bottom of the hill.
According to the Rock County Fire Protection District, units were responding to a call for a car into a fire hydrant in the 1700 block of Parkside Place. The department said there were no injuries reported in the original crash or the crash involving the fire truck.
"No structures were damaged during this accident and both the fire truck involved and the original car involved both sustained minor damage," a department spokesperson said.
Rock Community Fire Chief Kevin Wingbermuehle encouraged the public to share the video "as it provides a pivotal opportunity to highlight the daily challenges and hazards faced by firefighters," a release said in part.
The fire truck in Imperial was not the only truck to crash Monday.
A salt truck in the City of St. Louis lost control early Monday morning, nearly crashing into a local supermarket.
This crash happened around 5:30 a.m. near New Halls Ferry Road and North Broadway.
The truck was not salting the roads at the time of the crash.
Kent Flake, the St. Louis Commissioner of Streets told 5 On Your Side the driver was coming down a hill, lost control on the ice, and spun into some posts right outside of the Elite Supermarket & Grill on North Broadway.
Flake said thankfully the posts were up to prevent the driver from crashing into the building but that it was an extremely close call.
The driver was taken to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. No other injuries were reported.
