BEREA, Ky. — Officials say a firefighter who was responding to crash on I-75 collided with another vehicle on Highway 1016 in Berea.
Berea Police say the firefighter was driving a fire department pickup truck when another vehicle crossed over the center line and the two vehicles collided. The crash shut down part of that highway for more than an hour. Police say the firefighter swerved after being hit and then hit a fence which sent a piece of wood from the fence through the windshield.
“Both vehicles had left the roadway as a result of the collision and the fire truck actually struck a fence and one of the wooden planks came through the windshield and actually struck the firefighter in the arm,” said Sgt. Jake Reed, with Berea Police. Three young teenagers were nearby and heard the crash. We are told they were some of the first on scene, running to help.
