BUTTE, Mont. —

Two firefighters from Ridgefield, Wash., were killed when a pickup truck pulling a trailer jackknifed and fell off a bridge near Butte.

The Montana Highway Patrol also says a 14-year-old boy was critically injured in the Saturday morning crash.

Trooper Tammy Perkins says weather was a contributing factor when the truck hit the guardrail. She says the trailer pushed the truck off the bridge.

Officials say the 49-year-old driver Douglas Ray Jacobsen and his brother-in-law 45-year-old Richard Daniel Streissguth, were on their way from Clark County, Wash., to Bozeman to pick up an antique fire engine.
