CLARKSBURG, Ind. (AP) — A rolling, unmanned fire truck injured two pedestrians and a motorist inside a parked vehicle at a southeastern Indiana Fourth of July fireworks display.

The Decatur County Sheriff's Department says volunteer firefighters were responding to another emergency about 10 p.m. Saturday when the injuries occurred at Lake Santee, about 50 miles southeast of Indianapolis.

The sheriff's department says no one was inside the Clarksburg Volunteer Fire Department truck when it began moving and struck the two pedestrians and the parked vehicle. It's not clear why it began moving.

The sheriff's department isn't disclosing the extent of the injuries, nor is Decatur County Memorial Hospital in Greensburg, where the three were taken.
