Extrication – I-95 / I-495 – 2 May 2008

Units were dispatched to southbound I-95 at I-495 for the personal injury accident, with reported one trapped.  Since Rescue Squad 14 was clearing a transfer at Station 23 (Forestville), they were not on the initial assignment.  The squad requested to run the accident from the outerloop of I-495 at Good Luck Road, and was granted permission to run the call.

First arriving units reported they had one overturned with one trapped. Rescue Squad 14 was the first arriving squad, immediately went to work, and Command placed Rescue Squad 715 in service.  The squad crew stabilized the vehicle and removed the roof to access the trapped occupant.  The patient was transported to a local trauma center.

Rescue Squad 14 was ready for service at 1531 hours.
