In the early morning hours of Saturday December13 George Hildebran Fire/Rescue First Responders were dispatched to an MVA with unknown injuries. 7311 arrived on scene and found one vehicle vs. a tree with the driver pinned-in. Fire/Rescue was dispatched to the scene along with React for traffic control as well as the EMS supervisor. Nearby neighbors heard the impact of the accident from nearly a quarter mile away and then called 911 after hearing the driver’s screams for help. Rescue 734 arrived and the extrication began. The patient’s feet were pinned in the floorboard by the pedals, this was further complicated by an apparent femur fracture causing the driver a great deal of pain any time an attempt was made to move his feet. Extrication personnel removed the driver’s door and the entire roof. The dash of the vehicle was then pushed using hydraulic rams to allow rescue personnel access to the patient’s feet. The brake pedal was displaced and the driver was removed from the vehicle through the roof area. The patient was transported to an area hospital by EMS with the assistance of a GHFR driver.
