New Years Day Auto Extrication | 1/1/18 | Levittown, PA.

1/1/18 On scene video of a traffic accident involving a large suv and small sedan in the Levittown area of Middletown Township.

Police and EMS were initially dispatched around 2:45 to the intersection of Bristol-Oxford Valley and New Falls Roads for a motor vehicle accident with reported injuries. Levittown-Fairless Hills Squad 154 arrived and found a female driver trapped in a Hyundai.

Fire rescue was then called bringing two engines from William Penn as well as two rescue companies from neighboring Levittown #2 and Newportville along with an additional ambulance; a medic unit from Penndel-Middletown Emergency Squad.

Levittown #2 Rescue 13 arrived and quickly went to work stabilizing the entrapped patient's vehicle. Three members of Engine 77 took a fire suppression stand by position with their booster line. Newportville Rescue 82 arrived moments later and assisted R13 with removing the driver's door using Jaws of Life.

Engine 7's crew assisted medics inside the vehicle with patient care while rescue crews utilized "O" cutters to remove the driver's side B post so they could also remove the rear door for better access. The patient was extricated at 3:08 and taken to St. Mary's Hospital by Penndel-Middletown EMS. The driver of the Silverado was transported the hospital as well to be evaluated. Both patients sustained non life threatening injuries.

Middletown Police worked their investigation on scene with the assistance of Bristol Township. MasterCraft towing recovered the vehicles and cleaned up debris from the roadway. The intersection was cleared of emergency services by 4:00.

This video was uploaded with the intent of local news reporting and documentation of the emergency services.
