| Safety 3, John Durrer,
arrived on scene moments later with a two-vehicle side impact collision
and advised all incoming units to use caution approaching the scene due
to ice. Rescue Squad 3 arrived shortly after and provided patient care
to the 17 year-old driver.
Sgt Jenkins determined the best method
of removing the patient from the vehicle would be to remove the crushed
driver's side door. The crew from Squad 3 quickly setup the Maverick and
Extractor Hurst Tools and removed the door.
he patient was placed on a backboard by
Ambulance 38's crew and removed from the vehicle. Ambulance 38 transported
the patient to Civista Medical Center in La Plata. Icy road conditions
and speed were contributing factors in this collision
