Rescue Truck Backs Over Illinois Firefighter

A South Macon firefighter is in stable condition after a rescue truck backed over her on Sept. 14, according to The Herald-Review.

Firefighter Karla Minor was walking on the shoulder of the road next to the truck while it was backing up when it struck her at a low rate of speed and partially ran over her.

Crews responded to a request for medical assistance off of Illinois 48 in Boody and the incident occurred shortly before 11:45 a.m.

Minor was transported to St. Mary's Hospital and then airlifted to Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana.

Doctors believe she has a fractured tailbone and possibly a fractured pelvis, according to the report.

An investigation of the incident is ongoing and no citations have been issued.
