Clark, from Station 6, Hanover County Fire and EMS, was killed and three others firefighters were injured after their fire truck was rear-ended by an 18-wheeler while traveling on I-295 in Hanover County Thursday night.
Three others were transported to an area hospital: one with life-threatening injuries and two others with serious injuries, officials said.
Additionally, the driver of the semi had to be extricated from the truck’s cab before being transported to an area hospital with serious injuries, Hill said.
