Two injuries were reported early Thursday when a fire truck and car collided in Walton County.

The wreck, which happened before 4:30 a.m. on Ga. 138 near Forester Cemetery Road, was the second crash this week involving a metro Atlanta fire truck.

The state Department of Transportation reported that two motorists in the car were hurt, but that no firefighters were seriously injured in Thursday’s wreck.

That wasn’t the case Tuesday night, when six Clayton County firefighters were hurt when their truck collided with a tractor-trailer on Old Dixie Highway.

One of those injured firefighters remained hospitalized Wednesday; the others had been treated and released.
