The two people in the LaGuardia fire truck were injured, but their injuries were not believed to be life-threatening. Reports identified them as Port Authority Sgt. Michael Orsillo and Officer Adrian Baez, and one was expected to be released while the other was kept for observation.

What happened

An Air Canada regional jet collided with a fire truck crossing the runway at LaGuardia Airport, killing the two pilots and injuring dozens of passengers and crew. The fire truck crew was also hurt in the impact, but they survived.

Fire truck crew

  • Both crew members were taken to hospitals.
  • Their injuries were reported as not life-threatening.
  • One was expected to go home soon, while the other remained under observation.

Context

Investigators later said the fire truck did not have the equipment needed to trigger a runway warning system, which may have been relevant to the collision.
