WINNIPEG - A woman who was seriously injured in a crash with a Winnipeg fire truck on the weekend has died in hospital.
Kim Allison White, 21, was one of two occupants of a pickup truck that collided with the emergency vehicle as it was on it way to deal with a kitchen fire early Sunday morning.
The pickup’s other occupant, a 26-year-old man, is in stable condition, said Const. Jason Michalyshen.
A firefighter who was sitting in the front passenger seat of the fire truck was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said.
Alex Forrest, president of the United Fire Fighters of Winnipeg union, alleged the pickup went through a stop sign at a high rate of speed and T-boned the fire truck, which was carrying four firefighters.
He said the truck had just pulled out of the station with its lights and sirens on and was driving behind a pumper truck.
Police are still investigating the crash.
