On Wednesday, December 13th, 2006 just about an hour after clearing up our first accident of the day, the Westwood Fire Company was dispatched at 1452 to the Eastbound Route 30 Bypass just West of Route 82 to a vehicle accident with one car reported overturned.

Ambulance 44 responded and was advised that Lieutenant DiVesta of the Phoenixville Fire Department was on location with one vehicle overturned with the occupant trapped in the vehicle, unable to get out.

Tac 44 responded at 1456.

Upon Ambulance 44's arrival, EMS Chief McWilliams confirmed entrapment and requested Coatesville Rescue 43 to respond to the scene for possible additional rescue resources. Upon Tac 44's arrival, the patient was able to be extricated with the units on the scene and there was no additional need for Coatesville Rescue 43.

Ambulance 44 transported one patient to Brandywine Hospital from this accident.

Westwood Fire Police remained on location at the request of the Pennsylvania State Police to assist with traffic control.

All units cleared the scene at 1552.
