Shortly after units were dispatched, the assignment was then upgraded to a motor vehicle accident reported serious with one patient trapped.
The operator of the Hyundai Sonata was conscious alert and talking to firefighters reporting she could not open the driver door. Firefighters cut the driver door off and extricated her in under 5 minutes.
The operator of the Dodge Charger was conscious alert and talking, advising he was trapped in the vehicle, with his lower extremities pinned under the dashboard. Firefighters removed all doors and the roof to access the victim and then performed a “dash-roll” to free him.
