Obvious who is at fault, but a good video.

Did the woman in the car survive? It would be hard for me to believe she did with taking a direct hit like that...but, I'll agree with the story that goes with this. This was a very calm and controlled response. The driver was not driving recklessly and the audible, as well as visual I'm sure, warning devices were being used. The female driver just did not check both ways! Hope she and the crew involved are doing well..

She did survive.

Wow...

Pretty solid impact, hope the firefighters are okay.

There is no way she didn't see/hear the rig. Maybe she thought she could pull out before the truck?

It appears she was looking into the sun.

Fire engines with mechanical sirens have accidents too.
