IN. FF Struck/Pinned, App Resp. Crash, Update (The Secret List)‏

A Jamestown (IN) Firefighter is in surgery after a semi truck struck and ran him over near the scene of 2 others crashes on I-74 near the Boone/Hendricks County line around 1000 hours this morning.
The Firefighter was at the scene of the crashes when the semi hit him, and after he was hit, he was pinned under the semi for about 30 minutes until he was extricated and transported. The Firefighter is in surgery now due to multiple serious traumatic injuries. There were reports of ice in the area where the incident occurred. Updates will follow.

INDIANA APPARATUS RESPONDING CRASH:
And also in Indiana, 4 Pike Township Firefighters were being hospitalized this morning after their apparatus struck a tree during a EMS run. Initial reports are that their injuries appeared to be non life-threatening,
The Firefighters headed out on the engine just before 1100 hours on an EMS run and while responding to the scene, their engine hit ice and the driver lost control.

UPDATE ON THE DELAWARE FIREFIGHTER THAT WAS EJECTED WHILE RESPONDING:
The Georgetown (DE) Firefighter that was ejected while responding to a fire call earlier this week remains in critical condition. He had surgery yesterday but at last report-his condition has not changed.
FF William L. Breasure, 19, was ejected when the 2004 Dodge Stratus he was operating hit an embankment after crossing railroad tracks. FF Breasure lost control of the car and was thrown from the vehicle. A preliminary investigation has shown that speed was a factor in his crash and it does not appear that FF Breasure was wearing a seat belt.
