Rum Ridge Rd with One Trapped

Wednesday, February 10, 2016

While 74 units were cleaning up from an MVC on Whitesville Rd. on the Delaware Side, Wicomico EOC alerted Station 74 for an MVC with Entrapment on Rum Ridge Rd.  Wicomico advised units that they were responding to a head on MVC with one patient reported trapped.  Units arrived on scene and confirmed the report from dispatch.  One vehicle slid off the road on the ice striking a tree head on and then was hit by the second vehicle head on.  Rescue 74 arrived and stabilized the vehicle and began to work on the front driver side door.  Engine 3 arrived and brought up a dry chem extinguisher.  Engine 3's crew used the rams to spread the area underneath the dash to make access for the patients legs to be removed.  Extrication was complete 11 minutes after arrival and one patient was transported Priority 2 to a local trauma center.
