What Happens During Entrapment Rescue at Crash Scenes
When a crash involves possible entrapment, emergency crews focus on safely removing anyone trapped inside a vehicle. Specialized tools are often used to cut or pry open damaged sections of the car.
Stabilizing the vehicle is a key step to preventing movement during rescue efforts. This helps protect both the person inside and the responders working around the vehicle.
The process can take time depending on the extent of damage. Once access is gained, medical teams assess injuries and prepare the person for transport to a hospital.
