Drivers injured when SUV and fire truck collide in Aurora

All northbound lanes of North Peoria Street were closed Saturday morning as Aurora Police Department investigators studied the scene of a crash involving an Aurora Fire Rescue fire engine and a large sport utility vehicle. 

The crash occurred in front of AFD Fire Station #3 at Baranmoor Parkway, the fire department stated in a social media message.

APD, in its Twitter post, stated both drivers of the two vehicles were injured and taken to local emergency rooms. 

A third person was treated and released at the scene, but which vehicle that person was inside - or whether they were inside either vehicle - was not a provided detail.

A photo distributed by Aurora PD shows the badly damaged SUV having traveled some distance over a dirt divider and a curb, and coming to rest in a parking lot. Both vehicles sustained front-end damage indicative of a head-on collision. 

The crash happened at about 8 a.m.

A spokesperson from APD confirmed the investigation into the accident is being handled by the Colorado State Patrol.

This story will be updated with more details as they are received.
