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. He was transported to the hospital via ambulance and is recovering from his injuries.

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.
