At ~ 10:45 p.m., EMS, Fire, and Police were dispatched to Route 51 at Edgebrook for a single vehicle collision into a pole. The driver and passenger were heavily entrapped.
Crews from EMS Rescue 2 removed the driver’s side door to remove the patient. Medic 12 transported him in serious but stable condition.
The passenger side of the vehicle was found to be too damaged and deformed to open. The rescue crew pivoted to a roof removal with the assistance of Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire Engine 28.
Once the patient could be accessed, it was found that her lower extremities were trapped by the collapsed dashboard. Rescue 2 performed a dash roll and crews were able to remove the passenger through the pathway on the driver’s side.
Medic 5 transported her in serious but stable condition.
Police will investigate the cause of the crash.
