This may have been the accident, but the grill doesn't look damaged here. If not, it was probably from this accident:
For those curious, the picture on the far left is shop # 60411, which was repaired and returned to service. The middle picture is shop # 60427, that engine was totaled.
CIVILIAN FATALITY TRAFFIC COLLISION - LAFD INVOLVED:
On Monday, March 05, 2001 at 1028 Hours (10:28 AM PST), five Companies of
Los Angeles Firefighters, two Rescue Ambulances, one Heavy Rescue Company,
one Bulldozer Transport, one Command Post unit and one Battalion Officer
Command Team, all under the direction of Battalion Commander Jeffrey Marcus
responded to a Civilian Fatality Traffic Collision with Fire Department
involvement in the 11100 block of West Camarillo Street in North Hollywood.
LAFD Truck 60, a 1995 LTI Tractor-Drawn Aerial Ladder Truck (Shop #60482),
was responding in emergency mode to the 4600 block of Denny Avenue.
Traveling in Light Force formation with Engine 260 and accompanied by Rescue
60, Firefighters were en route to aid an 89 year-old female who was
reportedly in cardiac arrest. Pursuant of protocol, the group was traveling
convoy style eastbound on Camarillo Street, a residential thoroughfare, with
their lights and sirens activated, when they encountered a dark green Dodge
pickup in the number one eastbound lane.
Witnesses state that as Truck 60 attempted to pass the civilian vehicle on
the left, it suddenly and unexpectedly turned into their path. The collision
between the 58,000 lb. emergency vehicle and pickup truck destroyed the
latter vehicle, and briefly pinned the 70 year-old female driver in the
wreckage. An unoccupied car parked nearby also sustained damage. Rescue 60
continued on to the Denny Street address, as Paramedic Assessment Engine 86
was mustered to precede them.
Truck 60 personnel, including Paramedic-trained Firefighters, came
immediately to the pickup driver's aid, finding her pulse-less and
non-breathing. Briskly extricating her, they instituted intense life support
measures. Engine 86 found the woman at the Denny Avenue address deceased and
released Rescue 60 to return to the collision site. The pickup driver was
subsequently transported to Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in
Burbank, where despite the efforts of LAFD personnel and emergency room
staff, she was declared deceased at 1052 Hours.
There were no physical injuries to Firefighters, but a Critical Incident
Stress Debriefing (CISD) was instituted for those involved.
It is important to note that there have been more than 2.25 million
emergency responses by LAFD personnel since the last Department involved
civilian fatality collision. That incident occurred on April 20, 1996, when
a similar action by a motorist in the Fairfax District placed her compact
vehicle directly in the path of LAFD Engine 61 during an emergency response.
