A tour bus carrying passengers to a casino struck an Upland Fire Department engine that was responding to a T/C on the I-10 freeway in Ontario (approx. 50 miles east of L.A.) this morning. Details are still sketchy, but it appears that the engine was in the center median lane at the time of the collision and came to rest on the right shoulder.
The Upland FD engineer suffered major head injuries and was air lifted to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in critical condition. The officer and firefighter suffered lesser injuries and were transported to local hospitals.
One passenger on the bus was killed and the other 54 passengers and the driver were transported to local hospitals.
The engineer, who's name hasn't been released to the public yet (so I won't post it here), is a former member of my department. Please keep him in your prayers. I'll provide updates as I hear.
