One minute a Massachusetts firefighter was working to help an accident victim becomes a victim when he's struck in the street. The next minute was fighting for his life in the hospital.

Firefighter Antonio Pickens, 44, went to assist one of the drivers involved in a two car accident across from the Milton Fire Engine Company 4 Saturday night.

A black Buick LeSabre heading north towards Boston drove by and struck Pickens in front of numerous firefighters. Once hit, Pickens went over the vehicle and landed in the center lane of Blue Hill Avenue. He suffered massive trauma to his body and head.

Fallon Paramedics transported Pickens to Beth Israel Trauma Center in Boston. Currently, he is in critical condition. On Sunday, Milton Police officers arrested CW Tolbert, 46, of Stoughton, and charged him with third offense operating under the influence, operating under the influence of liquor and causing serious bodily injury, and negligent operation of a motor vehicle.

He is being held on $5,000 cash bail and will be arraigned Monday, July 2 at the Quincy District Court.
