MVA with entrapment near Long Grove, 3-18-15
This is from Larry Shapiro:
On the afternoon of March 18, 2015, around 2:40 p.m., Long Grove Fire Protection District units, along with mutual aid companies from Buffalo Grove, Prospect Heights, and Arlington Heights, responded to a tractor-trailer rollover on the northbound I-53 off-ramp to eastbound Lake Cook Road. The incident involved possible entrapment of two individuals inside the overturned truck.
Buffalo Grove Tower 25 was the first unit on scene and confirmed that two occupants were trapped inside the vehicle, which had flipped onto its roof. They immediately requested a second ambulance and a heavy wrecker equipped with airbags to assist with the rescue operation.
Two separate extrication efforts were underway — Long Grove firefighters worked to free the passenger, while Buffalo Grove and Prospect Heights crews focused on the driver. There was initial consideration of calling in a helicopter due to concerns about the time it might take to extract both individuals, but the situation was resolved without one. The passenger was freed first, followed shortly by the driver.
Arlington Heights Ambulance 4 and Long Grove Ambulance 55 transported the victims to Lutheran General and Condell Medical Centers, respectively. Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Squad 51 was called as a third unit but was released upon arrival as the situation was under control.
Here are some photos from the scene, with a full gallery available at shapirophotography.net. I also plan to share a video of the extrication process, along with images and footage of the recovery by Hillside Towing.
