Van rolls next to Alexandra fire station

Firefighters were quickly on hand after a car and van collided right outside the fire station on Alexandra's Centennial Ave this afternoon.

The van rolled in the crash, but no one was seriously hurt, according to emergency services.

A St John spokesman said one person was taken to the Alexandra Family Medical Centre with minor injuries.

Colleen Allen, who heard the crash, was waiting for a friend at the time.

"I just came out of Paper Plus . . . and I just heard this almighty bang and saw this van flip."
