Footage showing the moment a fire engine on an emergency call collides with a car in the centre of Luton, has been obtained by BBC Look East.

Eleven people including five firefighters were among those taken to hospital after the incident which also involved a car and a taxi.

A family of five was in the private vehicle when it was struck by the fire engine, but none of the injuries are thought to be life threatening.

According to the comments on youtube, the car driver died some weeks later, can we confirm this?

I have been told by someone in the know, that the driver died (unknown time) the appliance driver was doing about 32mph (according to police) and he's being/been charged with death by dangerous driving.

Dude just blew through a red light... (possibly... ?)

Common says says: Slow down when your approaching an intersection, no matter what vehicle you drive.
