Highway crashes involving entrapment are particularly concerning, as they often require extensive rescue efforts and can lead to severe injuries. Major roadways like Route 50 see heavy traffic, increasing the risk of collisions, especially at intersections and rural crossings.
Entrapment incidents occur when a vehicle is severely damaged, leaving occupants unable to exit without assistance. Emergency crews must work quickly to stabilize the scene, extricate victims, and provide immediate medical care.
