Louisiana: Crash sends truck into Jefferson Parish fire station

A crash between a car and a truck sent the pickup truck careening into a fire station on North Causeway Boulevard Thursday morning. The car was traveling south on Causeway after getting on the bridge when it struck a truck making a u-turn sending the truck into the Jefferson Parish Fire Station 18 near West Esplanade Avenue.

The man who was driving the car was taken to the hospital, though his injuries do not appear to be life threatening, and the truck driver was not injured.

The truck crashed into the fire house's kitchen which was empty at the time.
