Kunkle volunteer firefighters held each other close after state troopers in Tunkhannock say a firefighter was hit by a dump truck.
Troopers say the firefighter was struck while he was rerouting traffic at an accident scene here at the intersection of Routes 309 and 29.
The whole reason why emergency responders were redirecting traffic here in the first place was because a van hit this telephone pole.
"Pretty surprising but at the same time, this intersection is pretty bad, like I've seen people go in the wrong direction, out the wrong direction. Going too fast. Taking corners too fast," said Brian Durling.
"There has been multiple accidents at this intersection and one time a vehicle hit my building," said Dr. Lynn D'Alessandro.
A helicopter from Wilkes-Barre Scranton International Airport was sent to take the volunteer firefighter to Geisinger Wyoming Valley for his serious injuries.
