According to police, the driver told police he stopped at a red light at the intersection, where he heard a siren but did not see emergency vehicles.

The report released Tuesday does not identify the driver of the Chevrolet Equinox SUV involved in the crash at Dartmouth Street and Commonwealth Avenue. But the report lays out the details of the incident that injured him along with four firefighters on Engine 7.

Authorities have cited the driver who was hit by a Boston firetruck in a dramatic Back Bay collision Monday, according to a Boston police report, which alleges that the man failed to stop for the emergency vehicle crew as it rushed to the scene of an alarm.


“He thought they were behind him so he pulled into the intersection to make way when he was struck by BFD fire engine,” the report said.

The driver of the fire truck, which had its lights and siren on, told investigators he saw the SUV drive slowly into the intersection. He said he tried to avoid a collision, but the vehicle “did not stop and drove into his path,” police said.

Boston police issued a civil citation to the driver, but did not name him because he is the victim of an accident and is not charged with a crime.

Before the crash, Engine 7 was headed from its firehouse on Columbus Avenue in Park Square to a fire alarm that had activated at 1120 Boylston St., fire officials said.

All of the injured firefighters were treated and released Monday. The condition of the driver was not available.
