What Happens During Vehicle Extrication After a Serious Crash
When people become trapped inside vehicles after a crash, emergency crews use specialized tools to remove them safely. This process is known as extrication and often involves cutting through parts of the vehicle.
These situations can take time, especially when vehicles are heavily damaged or positioned in a way that limits access. Crews must carefully stabilize the vehicle before removing occupants to prevent further injury.
Helicopters may be used to transport patients quickly when injuries are serious. This helps reduce travel time to hospitals equipped to handle critical cases.
