Driver Injured in Amnicola Truck Collision

Chattanooga firefighters were called to cut out the driver of the pickup.

They found a small fire in the engine compartment that had to be extinguished before it caught the dripping gasoline nearby.

So while crews cut the car away, other firefighters had to standby with hoses to guard against another flare up.

They say the victim was conscious and alert as they took him to the hospital.

Chattanooga police are investigating the cause of the wreck.
