Lancaster, PA (October 3, 2024) – Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene of a serious traffic accident on Route 22. The incident occurred when units from the Lancaster County Department of Emergency Services were called to assist in an area managed by Company 57, where a two-vehicle collision resulted in one individual being trapped in the passenger seat of one of the vehicles.
Upon arrival, the Rescue Engine and Wagon discovered the wreckage and quickly assessed the situation. The vehicles involved were stabilized to ensure the safety of both the responders and the trapped individual. Crews initiated the use of specialized rescue tools to facilitate the extrication process while also preparing the other vehicle for winching out of the way.
Rescue 10 arrived shortly after and connected the winch to the rigging that had been prepared, allowing for the removal of the obstructing vehicle. This maneuver provided the necessary space for the rescue teams to complete the extrication of the trapped individual safely.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this accident, especially the individual who was trapped and their family during this challenging time.
