A semi smashed into a firetruck on Interstate 65 early Saturday morning, and firefighters said the semi driver didn't move over.
With one truck down, the wreck now puts Central Hardin Volunteer Fire Department's response times in jeopardy.
The fire truck was blocking two lanes of traffic, creating a buffer zone in front of the crash when a semi crashed into it and crunched the front bumper.
"People have a purpose, they have someplace to go and they needed to be there 10 minutes ago. So to them it's an inconvenience when (first responders) are out there, but to us, it's our lives," said Jeremy Goodman, a Central Hardin volunteer firefighter.
The crash happened when traffic was merging.
