Why Entrapment Crashes Require a Specialized Emergency Response?
When a collision leaves someone trapped inside a vehicle, firefighters and other emergency personnel may need to stabilize the vehicle and use specialized rescue equipment to safely free the occupant. Medical personnel can provide care during the extrication process.
Investigators may later examine vehicle damage, roadway evidence, witness statements, and the vehicles’ positions to determine how the crash occurred. The duration and complexity of the rescue can depend on the severity of the collision and the extent of vehicle damage.
As authorities continue investigating the crash, additional information may become available regarding the circumstances surrounding the collision.
