A Baltimore County fire lieutenant has been treated at a hospital and released after a car struck him while he was collecting money for a "Fill the Boot" fundraiser.
The incident happened Sunday morning in Rossville, Maryland, the Baltimore Sun reported. The firefighter was participating in a fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, during which firefighters stand at intersections, soliciting donations to fill firefighters' rubber boots.
Baltimore County police haven't said how the incident occurred or whether the driver would face any charges.
The lieutenant was taken to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, fire department officials said. His injuries were not expected to be life-threatening, and he was treated and released.
The department will continue to raise money for the boot campaign, said Fire Chief Kyrle W. Preis III.
