The Gilbertsville Fire Department is reporting that one of its Firefighters was seriously injured last night at the scene of the multiple-vehicle accident on the I-24 Tennessee River bridge.
Gilbertsville Fire officials said, “Our first arriving officer at the scene of a single vehicle accident on the I 24 bridge was caught up in a secondary accident involving multiple vehicles.

As we reported earlier, Kentucky State Police and Marshall County 911 Dispatch report emergency agencies from several counties continue to work a multi-vehicle crash blocking Interstate 24 westbound near the 30 mile marker at the I-24 Tennessee River Bridge. One lane is open eastbound with traffic moving slowly through the area.
