An alleged drunk driver carrying a stolen gun crashed into a fire truck in San Bernardino on New Year's Eve, damaging the truck, authorities said.

The driver slammed into a San Bernardino Fire Department truck that was headed to a structure fire at 9th and E streets Wednesday night, according to a tweet from Lt. Travis Walker, a district commander for the San Bernardino Police Department.

A gun stolen from Las Vegas was found in the car, he said.

No firefighters were injured in the crash, according to Walker, who posted a picture showing a wheel on the truck seemingly jarred loose.

"The firefighters were shaken up a bit, but they're ok," Walker tweeted.

The driver and passenger of the car were taken to the hospital after complaining of pain, San Bernardino Police Lt. Richard Lawhead said.
