CASPER, Colo. — A Colorado fire department ambulance was heavily damaged after being struck by a semi-truck at a crash scene on Tuesday.

Limon Area Fire Protection District crews had responded to the scene of a jack-knifed semi-trailer when another semi traveling on the icy roads crashed into their rig, according to the Oil City News.

The agency posted photographs of the aftermath on Facebook, writing, “This is what happens when on scene and people don’t pay attention. People slow down when you see emergency vehicle’s.”

Limon County EMT Kim Clymer told the Oil City News that no one was in the ambulance at the time of the collision and that there were no injuries as a result of the secondary crash.
