ID’d: VA Firefighter Killed In Line Of Duty After 18-Wheeler Rear Ends Fire Truck In Mechanicsville

HANOVER COUNTY, VA. (THECOUNT) — Lt. Brad Clark has been identified as the Hanover County, PA, firefighter killed in the line of duty in Mechanicsville Thursday.

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.

There has been no word if weather was a factor in the crash, but Tropical Storm Michael prompted several tornado warnings and lashed the area with heavy rainfall that was torrential at times, meteorologists said. source

Authorities said the investigation into the crash is in its “preliminary stages” with the help of the Virginia State Police Crash Reconstruction Team.
