Extrication on Rte. 35

At 21:48 on September 9, YHFD units were dispatched to a motor vehicle accident on Rte. 35 between Evergreen St. and Whippoorwill Road. Car 2533 quickly confirmed entrapment in one of the vehicles. Using our Res-Q-Jacks, crews quickly stabilized the vehicle which was upturned on the passenger side. Requests for StatFlight and an additional medic were relayed from 34-Medic-1, and Engine 270 with Car 2534 were dispatched to the landing zone. Crews then removed the windshield and quickly created enough room to safely extricate the victim. After initial treatment on the scene, the patient was transported by Medivac to Westchester Medical Center. Yorktown units remained on the scene to provide lighting and assistance for the police investigation, and tow company's removal of the vehicles.
