Motor Vehicle Accident with Entrapment

 July 25, 2014

Friday July 25 - 97 and 505 dispatched for an MVA with entrapment on Rt 100 in Washington Township. Personnel on scene confirmed multiple patients entrapped in multiple vehicles. Request made for 95 to respond with rescue apparatus and personnel to assist 97, an additional medic units from area EMS. Rescue personnel from both departments worked with hydraulic tools to remove doors and posts from both vehicles to allow EMS to gain access to patients and extricate them from the wreckage. Fire Police from 97, 58, 95 and 19 diverted traffic for almost two hours while patients were removed for transports, hazards controls, police investigated and wreckage was cleared. At least four patients from the vehicles were transported, include one in extremely critical condition, who later died. Following those patients, a 97 firefighter was transported to LVH-CC. While this was occuring, two additional EMS assists were dispatched for 97.
