The Township Squads responded to the 200 block of Hempt Road for an Accident with Confinement. C33 arrived with 2 vehicles and drivers confined in both. The less serious was extricated after the vehicle was stabilized while the second vehicle required use of floor jacks to move the vehicle away from the guard rail. The drivers door was removed “hinge side” first then after the patient was stabilized was removed from the vehicle. Not all accidents require “standard methods” so proper training and equipment knowledge is key to a successful operation. Crews were on scene just over an hour. Hempt Rd was closed to all traffic until the wreckage was cleared. ... See moreSee less
