Accident - Ohara Township (6/20/2005)
Guyasuta Station 219, Blawnox Station 111, and
Parkview EMS were dispatched around 9:59am for a tractor trailer rolled over
with entrapment on Freeport Road near Powers Run Road. Lower Valley EMS and St.
Margaret's Medic 267 were in the area and offered their assistance as well. First
arriving units found a tractor trailer on its side and also a pickup truck that
was involved. Rescue command was assumed by 219 C1 and Parkview 802 had EMS command.
It was determined early on that the load was non-hazardous (Daily's Juice). Extrication
was completed in approximately 20 minutes and two patients were transported to
Allegheny General by Parkview EMS.
Of special note, Guyasuta happened to be undergoing
their QRS recertification by EMSI and the inspectors rode along on the response
and assisted at the scene.
