Flaherty Volunteer Firefighter Lloyd Claycomb is recovering after being struck by a Meade County Ambulance that rolled over Tuesday.
The accident happened at the intersection of US 60 and Joe Prather Highway in Meade County at about 7:45 Tuesday evening.
According to Kentucky State Police, a Meade County EMS ambulance was traveling north on the Joe Prather Highway with its lights and siren engaged when it was struck by a Chevrolet Impala traveling west on US 60.
The impact caused the ambulance to rollover and it struck firefighter Claycomb who was collecting donations for the department’s Crusade for Children charity drive that kicked off this week.
The Impala then struck a Ford F-350.
Firefighter Claycomb and the driver of the Impala were transported to the University of Louisville with serious injuries. Both are expected to fully recover.
The driver of the ambulance, who is reportedly a volunteer with the Ekron Fire Department, and the F-350 driver were taken to the Baptist Health Hardin with less serious injuries.
