One member of the fire crew died, crushed by the overturned truck, and seven firefighters were injured, along with scores of passengers on the streetcar. An old tree in front of the playground was demolished but probably prevented the car from plowing full into the playground yard where many children were playing, the Berkeley Daily Gazette reported. A Berkeley woman, Cecelia Gollum, was credited with saving children in the playground by blowing her whistle when she saw the crash occurring.

Five terrestrial units of Barcelona firefighters were deployed to the scene, located in the Eixample neighbourhood in front of Casa de les Punxes, after emergency services received a call about the fire at approximately 5:00pm.

As officials jumped into action, both streets, as well as the nearby Carrer Roger de Llúria, were blocked to traffic, according to the Barcelona City Council.
