Butler, PA (October 22, 2024) – A two-vehicle accident occurred on October 21 at the 1245 block of Freedom Road, prompting a swift response from emergency services. At approximately 4:24 p.m., emergency responders were dispatched to the scene of the incident, which involved one vehicle that had gone over a hillside.
As first responders arrived, a second alert was issued for Station 21 due to a lack of acknowledgment. By 4:28 p.m., the responding unit requested a second rescue company to be dispatched to assist with the situation, given the vehicle’s precarious position over the hill. Station 42 was subsequently alerted to provide additional support.
At 4:32 p.m., the first unit arrived on the scene to assess the situation. Shortly thereafter, at 4:35 p.m., it was determined that the second rescue company was no longer needed, and the police department took over traffic control while minor debris cleanup was managed by the tow truck.
