MVA entrapment, serious injuries

[NFD-102]

I went on this MVA today at work...pictures will show the rest.


It came in as an MVA rollover with entrapment. Update from CSP was car vs. pole with serious injuries and entrapment. We arrived and found the car split in two. Just behind the B post on the passengers side is where the pole sliced through the vehicle. There were two patients so a second rig and med unit were called along with LifeStar Helicopter. We ended up removing the roof and passengers side door. The driver was walking around but was also transported due to mechanism of injury. I did hear an update from the hospital and they said the injuries were pretty serious. If the pole hit 6 inches closer to the front it would have been DOA. Lucky.


FYI: The speed limit on this road is 35mph.

Wow, talk about luck. What kind of car was it? It looks like the rear is from a sport-ish car but the front end looks like a regular sedan... must've been cruising.

Looks like possibly an older Honda Civic?

I'm no expert, but with the rear of the car being 35 feet from the front, I deduce they were breaking the speed limit. Heck, almost breaking the sound barrier more like.

Correct!


Speed was definitely a factor

On an unrelated note, your car looks great. Did you respond as Fire or PD (I only ask because above your avatar it says FF/EMT and PD)?
