HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — A Fredericksburg man was killed after his car ran into a fire truck that was parked along Interstate 295 south at the I-64 interchange in eastern Henrico County Monday morning.

“A 2003 Pierce pumper truck (Henrico Fire Unit) was sitting in the left and center lane with lights activated when it was struck by a southbound 2013 Honda Civic,” Virginia State Police spokesman Sgt. Steve Vick wrote in an email. “The driver of the Honda, Brad T. Cartwright, 31, of Fredericksburg, Va., died at the scene; he was not wearing a seat belt.”

Two Henrico firefighters, who were in the truck when it was hit, were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Vick added.
