The Willow Grove Fire Company, the Monroeville Fire Company and American Legion EMS were dispatched to the intersection of Harding Highway and Fork Bridge Road for a motor vehicle crash with fire. Upon the arrival of ems, they advised of an engine compartment fire in one of the vehicles. Rescue 22-9 and Engine 17-3 arrived and stretched 1 3/4 handlines to suppress the fire.

Several of the injured were transported to local medical facilities for evaluation.
