Crashes involving entrapment, like the one at County Seat Hwy and Little St, can have serious consequences, especially when individuals are unable to escape their vehicles on their own. In these types of accidents, every second counts, and the swift action of emergency responders is critical in minimizing injury and providing immediate care.
While the cause of this crash is still under investigation, these incidents are often caused by a combination of factors, including distracted driving, speed, or hazardous road conditions.
