Crash with Rollover & Extrication in Jordan Requires 'Jaws of Life'
Tuesday, August 2, 2022
Shortly before 4 pm emergency services were dispatched to reports of a high-velocity collision at the intersection of Jordan Road and the South Service Road in the town of Lincoln. Upon arrival crews encountered a two vehicle MVC with one vehicle on its side in a ditch; the elderly driver trapped inside. The vehicle had also struck a hydro pole, sheering it completely. LFR Rescue 637 was also requested to the scene to assist with extricating the patient from the vehicle. Firefighters used the jaws of life to remove the vehicle’s doors and roof and successfully removed the patient. They were transported by Niagara paramedics to and out-of-town trauma centre with presumably serious injuries. All crews worked efficiently and quickly to remove the patient from the vehicle. The intersection was closed while Niagara Regional Police investigated. One other person was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
