Firefighters who responded to two accidents on Route 2 were struck by a vehicle while on scene at the second accident Saturday night, fire officials said. On-duty Deputy Fire Chief Richard Westman and apparatus operator Lee Brow were driving the department's 2009 Chevrolet Suburban back to the fire department after responding to an accident on Route 2 in the area of exit 5B when they noticed another car had stuck along a guard rail in the center median, which separates east-bound and west-bound traffic.
