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 Highway 137 in North Chicago, around 12:50 p.m.
The woman was later transported by Flight for Life, a critical air ambulance service. Cmdr. Joshua Rickabaugh of the North Chicago Fire Department described the situation as extremely challenging. "The victim was pinned inside the vehicle in a way that made it very difficult to move the car around her," he said.
Emergency response teams from Libertyville, Knollwood, and Great Lakes fire departments were also on scene to assist. The incident highlights the complexity of modern vehicle extrications, especially when multiple emergency services are involved.
Photos from the crash site show firefighters working tirelessly to free the driver, with one image capturing the moment a helicopter arrived to airlift the injured woman. Other images depict the wreckage of the SUV, emergency personnel at the scene, and the coordinated effort between ground crews and medical teams.
