Richmond Hill Fire Chief Ralph Catlett said his department was called to provide mutual aid by helping extricate a victim from one of the vehicles and also prepare a landing zone for LifeStar.

The extent of the injuries are unknown. The wreck reportedly occurred between 2-3 p.m.

Accoding to Fort Stewart PAO, one civilian vehicle, two military HUMMVs and a government "non-tactical" vehicle were involved in the wreck.

Highway 144 east toward Richmond Hill is currently closed and motorists are reportedly being diverted at Old Sunbury Road in Hinesville.
