One woman was injured when the vehicle she was driving and a fire truck crashed in German Township early Sunday morning.

Officials said the unidentified female was taken by ambulance to Uniontown Hospital following the collision, which occurred at 2:11 a.m.
The crash, according to officials, occurred as firefighters from McClellandtown Volunteer Fire Department were on their way to battle a structure fire in German Township.
A spokeswoman for Fayette County 911 said the department was notified of a structure fire at 369 Sunshine Hollow Road at 1:58 a.m.
Officials said the building, a former personal care home that had reportedly been vacant for several years, was destroyed in the blaze.
As firefighters from McClellandtown were responding to the call, the fire truck they were traveling in and the car driven by the woman crashed on Route 21 a short distance from the fire department, which is located on Puritan Road, officials said.

Masontown and Uniontown fire departments were called to assist state police at the scene of the wreck, officials said, noting that numerous other Fayette County fire departments battled the blaze on Sunshine Hollow Road.
The 911 spokeswoman said crews battled the fire about four hours, leaving at 6:05 a.m.
No injuries were reported as a result of the blaze, officials said, noting that the state police fire marshal was called to the scene.
Police are also investigating the crash.
Officials said a McClellandtown Volunteer Fire Department fire truck was involved in a second collision on Route 21 at 2:28 p.m. Sunday.
No injuries were reported as a result of the second collision, officials said, adding that police were notified but that firefighters on scene reported no emergency backup was needed.
