All four northbound I-85 lanes about 15 miles north of Charlotte had to be closed for several hours to clean up the wrecks not long after 1 a.m. Tuesday.
Authorities say the firetruck was blocking lanes after a wreck near the Bruton Smith Boulevard exit when the BMW smashed into the truck at almost full speed.
The BMW's driver was taken to the hospital. No firefighters were hurt.
