PRIORITY 1 TRAUMA PATIENTS ON THE PARKWAY |
|
September 1, 2005 - At 1057 hrs this morning, Wagon
and Tower 501 responded on a mutual box for a
traffic accident on the Prince William County
Parkway at the Occoquan River
Bridge. As crews were responding, communications
reported that one individual had been ejected from
the vehicle. Administration 500 arrived on the
scene, reported one trapped and requested two medic
units, a heavy rescue, a helicopter and an
additional engine. Wagon 516 arrived first with
Wagon 501 quickly behind them. The Tower, which was
on delayed response because it was being worked on,
had not yet arrived. Crews found 1 patient lying in
the median strip approximately 100 feet from the
single vehicle involved in the crash. That patient
was a priority 1 trauma who was transported by
ground to the hospital with CPR in progress. The
Wagon went to work assessing and providing care for
the second patient who was trapped inside the
vehicle which had rolled several times. This patient
was also a priority one, suffering from a nearly
amputated limb. Crash 501, arriving before the
Tower, removed the passenger door, with the help of
the Wagon, and crews removed the victim who was
transported by helicopter Air Care to a local trauma
center. The Tower was placed in service on their
arrival and the Wagon provided a driver for the
medic unit. They cleared at 1159 hrs. |
