Georgia: Fire Truck Struck by Tractor-Trailer

3 Macon-Bibb County (Georgia) Firefighters and a tractor-trailer driver were taken to The Medical Center of Central Georgia Wednesday after the tractor-trailer truck rear-ended the fire truck on Interstate 16. The firefighters, David Mahone, 31, Marcus Lamb, 42, and Keith Carter, 33, are all conscious and alert and their injuries don't appear to be life-threatening. State troopers were working two traffic crashes in the area about 50 yards apart when the crash occurred. The Firefighters had responded to the scene of one of the crashes on I-16 eastbound near Coliseum Drive. They were in front of the truck and packing up their equipment when two tractor-trailers collided, with one striking the back of the apparatus at about 1430 hours....the rig then struck the Firefighters and pushed them into a guardrail.
