Engine kills two
NZPA-Reuter Birmingham A fire engine answering an emergency call ran out of control in Birmingham, hitting a string of vehicles and killing a woman and a child. The police said the fire engine hit a double-decker bus, five cars, a mini-bus, a tree and a bus shelter before toppling on to its side. The woman and baby were in one of the cars. Eleven other people, including the baby’s father and four firemen, were injured. The call turned out to be a false alarm.
