Understanding Entrapment in Vehicle Collisions
Entrapment occurs when occupants cannot exit a vehicle on their own, often due to heavy damage to doors or the frame. Fire and rescue personnel are trained to use specialized tools to free trapped passengers safely.
Even when injuries appear minor, extrication can take time because crews must stabilize the vehicle and ensure safety for both responders and those inside. These procedures help reduce further harm and allow patients to receive medical care as quickly as possible.
