Two FDNY trucks responding to the same 911 call collided in Brooklyn yesterday after blowing through a four-way stop — plowing through a yellow cab and a brick home, authorities said. Eleven firefighters were injured in the 7:45 a.m. collision at Avenue J and East 103rd Street in Canarsie. The trucks from Engine 257 and Ladder 170 were responding to a report of smoke at a location a couple miles away, FDNY spokesman Frank Dwyer said. One truck was headed west on Avenue J, while the other rushed south on 103rd Street.
