Two New Haven firefighters injured when their engine was hit on an interstate late Tuesday night are recovering.
A BMW sideswiped a tractor-trailer and a car before striking the engine, according to WTNH.
After the collision, the BMW caught fire. The driver, Wilton Ketter, was rescued and transported to a hospital.
The two firefighters who were in the rig were released after treatment and are expected to be OK.
