A truck with a fireplace and a car crashed and three other cars broke Saturday at an intersection in North Indianapolis, according to Indianapolis Fire Department spokeswoman Rita Reith.

The twist of fate occurred shortly after 1 p.m. when the driving force of a black Honda Accord drove south on Delaware Street and crashed into the IFD 22 engine west on Fall Creek Parkway.

The truck in the place where the chimney is located was heading to a place imaginable for the construction of a chimney when the Honda Accord approached the intersection. The guy driving the Honda told firefighters at the fire spot and Indianapolis Metropolitan Police officers that he had turned up too much music and didn’t hear or see the truck from the place where the fire was located until it was in the middle of the intersection.

Rieth said in a press release that the driving force of the chimney truck knew the Honda was going to crash into it and had veered left to avoid a “full T-bone collision.”

When the car and the chimney truck collided, Rieth said, the engine spun and headed for the eastbound lanes of Fall Creek. The Honda veered into grassy ground on the north side of Fall Creek.

Three cars heading to the chimney site were damaged, so a 71-year-old cyclist sought safe haven after learning that the chimney-place truck was turning toward the lawn separator at the intersection where he was waiting. No injuries were reported.

Since then, the intersection of Delaware Street and Fall Creek Parkway has been reopened to traffic.
