MVA in North Chicago with extrication, 9/21/15

Excerpts from ChicagoTribune.com:

Firefighters spent over an hour on Monday afternoon to rescue an injured woman trapped in her SUV following a collision with a dump truck on northbound Route 41, just south of I-137 in North Chicago, around 12:50 p.m.

The woman was later airlifted by Flight for Life, a critical care air ambulance service.

"It was a very challenging extraction," said Cmdr. Joshua Rickabaugh of the North Chicago Fire Department. "The way the victim was pinned inside the vehicle made it difficult to maneuver around her."

Firefighters from Libertyville, Knollwood, and Great Lakes also responded to the scene to assist in the operation.
