Reported today that a North Carolina, High Point firefighter who was responding to the scene of a crash on Business 40 westbound near Bunker Hill Road Tuesday morning was struck by a passing vehicle at about 8:20 a.m. as he stepped out of his vehicle.
The firefighter, whose name wasn't released to the media, was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Officials with the High Point Fire Department said his injuries weren't serious and he was later released.
The man who was driving the car that hit the firefighter was charged with a failure to move over violation.
DID he have his new approved safety vest on? Was he cited for not wearing it? I am all for the move over law and in this case it should have protected this firefighter. But then again it would be interesting to know if he had a vest on. This would be a good thing to start tracking?
