A fire police officer was struck by a vehicle in Gilbertsville, Montgomery County late Monday morning, officials said.
The ordeal began shortly after 11 a.m. as New Hanover Fire and Rescue, Gilbertsville Fire and Rescue and fire police units from both companies responded to the 1800 block of Swamp Pike for an elevator rescue.
As the firefighters were clearing the call, Gilbertsville Fire Police Office James Scott, 65, was directing traffic on Swamp Pike when he was suddenly struck by a woman driving westbound.
Scott was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital where he is in stable but serious condition. Officials continue to investigate the accident.
