Both people suffered minor injuries, the department said. Crews removed the occupants through a window, and EMS transported them for evaluation.

Aliquippa Fire used the incident to remind motorists that winter conditions can quickly turn dangerous.

“Winter driving significantly increases stopping distances and reduces vehicle control,” the department wrote. “Whether you are operating a passenger vehicle, a semi-truck or an emergency response vehicle, please practice safe driving and remain alert during winter conditions.”
