A Prince William County fire engine was hit along I-95 early Friday as it was stopped for another crash.

The firefighters were about to get out when it was struck, according to IAFF Local 2598.

“Luckily, there were no injuries. But this is a very real reminder of the dangers our members face while operating on emergency scenes,” officials wrote. 

The driver who failed to obey the Move Over law was cited.

Last February, an engine was struck on Prince WIlliam Parkway. No firefighters were injured. However, the civilian was transported to a local trauma center after the collision.
