A car slammed into Clyde Fire Department Rescue 11 at the scene of a motor vehicle accident on I-40 late last month.
Officials say the accidents happened around 10:30 a.m. on May 26.
The Clyde rescue truck was blocking the left lane of the accident scene when a vehicle struck it from behind at a high rate of speed, according to information shared by several fire departments on Facebook. They reported the fire truck was pushed about 12 feet by the impact.
No first responders were injured, but the driver of the vehicle was transported to the hospital in critical condition.
