Belmont County crews transported three firefighters to the hospital after a man in a stolen van rear-ended them on Interstate 470.

The crash happened Wednesday night near St. Clairsville and involved McMechen Volunteer Fire Department members.

None of the firefighters is believed to have suffered life-threatening injuries.

A Bellaire man is facing charges in connection with the stolen van.
