At 5 p.m. May 22, Huntingtown Volunteer Firefighters responded to a four-vehicle crash on Rt. 2 and Wayside Drive and Kent Road, with one patient trapped in a vehicle, reports Assistant Fire Chief Jonathan Riffe.

This information led to Squad 5 (Dunkirk) being added to the call.

Captain 6 (McKenny) was first to arrive, reporting three cars and a 6-Wheeler truck were involved.

A total of four patients were involved which led to North Beach VFD Ambulance 18 (North Beach) being added to the call. On the scene already were Chief 6 (Osbourn), Squad 6 (Cox, C), Engine 62 (Willis), and Ambulance 69 (M. Grierson).

The Squad crew split into two crews and immediately went to work extricating the trapped patient.

Both “O” cutters, the Maverick Combo tool, and 32″ Spreaders were utilized to remove the drivers side door and roof.

The crew from Dunkirk arrived on location and secured the additional vehicles along with assisting with extrication.

One patient was flown to PG Shock Trauma and units cleared the scene one hour later.
