| Just after midnight, units from the Cobb Island Volunteer Fire Department and surrounding departments responded to the 15100 block of Rock Point Road for a reported motor vehicle collision with people trapped.
Rescue Engine 6 arrived on scene and found one vehicle off the roadway, on its side and into multiple telephone poles. Rescue Engine 6 established command, and crews began assessing the scene.
Once the scene was deemed safe by SMECO Squad 10, crews from PA 289 and RE28 began stabilizing the vehicle. Chief 1A arrived shortly afterward and assumed command of the incident.
Rescue Engine 6 and PA 14 gained access to the patient, allowing crews to begin patient care while additional resources worked to safely extricate the occupant. Extrication was completed through the combined efforts of Rescue Engine 6, Squad 10, Paramedic Ambulance 289, and Rescue Engine 28.
Engine 151 operated as the suppression unit during the incident. PA 14 and the SMDO
provided patient care.
The incident was brought under control through the coordinated efforts of all responding agencies. We would like to thank all of the mutual-aid departments and personnel who assisted on scene.
We wish for a speedy recovery for the patient.
Please slow down, stay alert, and use caution while traveling on our roadways. |
