Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I come up on a crash scene with emergency crews working?
Slow down, move over if possible, and follow any detour or traffic control instructions from police. Avoid stopping to look, which can block access for fire and EMS vehicles.
What does "entrapment" mean in a crash report?
It means at least one person is trapped inside a vehicle and can't get out on their own, usually because of damage to the doors or frame. Fire crews use tools to cut or pry the vehicle open in a process called extrication.
How long do extrication operations usually take?
It depends on the severity of the damage and how the vehicle is positioned, but extrications can take anywhere from several minutes to over an hour, during which nearby lanes or ramps are typically closed.
