An Atlanta firefighter remained hospitalized Monday after colliding with a Brinks armored truck on his way home from his shift Saturday morning.

Firefighter Zach Kimbrough was driving his F-250 pickup truck westbound on Marietta Boulevard when the armored truck turned into his path from a parking lot near Queens Street, according to Atlanta police.

The pickup hit the Brinks vehicle on the driver’s side, knocking the armored truck onto its side.

Kimbrough was taken to Atlanta Medical Center, and Atlanta fire spokeswoman Janet Ward said Monday that he remained there with serious injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening.

The two occupants of the Brinks truck were taken to Grady. Their conditions were not known Monday.

Ward said Kimbrough, a married father of three, joined the department in April.
