At 21:17 hours, Station 20 along with Rescues 64 and 78 were dispatched to a two vehicle accident with reported entrapment in front of 3315 School Road in the Nob Hill Heights section of Murrysville. Chief 64 arrived and reported two vehicles, head-on type collission, with one patient trapped in a vehicle. As Rescue 20 approached, Director 610 requested a roof flap and removal of the driver side of the vehicle. Crews from Rescues 20, 64, 78, Engine 20, and Murrysville Medic One went to work using the Hurst spreaders, cutters, and rams. The roof of the vehicle was completley removed to allow the crews from 617 and 613 to handle patient care. The driver side was then removed and the dash was partially rolled to free the patient. The crews worked well together allowing for a quick extrication.
With the patient in the care of Murrysville Medic One, crews worked to contain fluids and remove debris from the roadway while Murrysville PD completed their accident investigation. Both vehicles were removed from the scene by McElhinney's Service.
