- They're saying multiple vehicles.
One vehicle on top of another one.
I don't know if anybody's trapped.
- This could be good.
OK, guys.
- Be careful on the freeway.
- That-- there's a lot of damage up there.
- Jake, you want to check these first couple?
- Yeah.
- I'll go check the far one.
- OK.
- She's still in there?
- She's breathing.
- Engine 207, 211
- Engine 211?
- Upgrade this to a major med and us a tactical channel.
- CDAC 2
- Copy CDAC 2.
Sir were you in this vehicle?
Was it just you.
Are you injured at all? - Yes sir.
- Go
- OK.
- Hello ma'am, were you the only one in this vehicle?
- Are you injured?
- Your neck hurts? OK.
Try to hold your neck as still as you can.
We'll be right with you, OK?
- I'm going to cut this air bag out of the way buddy,
so I can talk to you, OK?
We're going to do that.
What we're going to do, so you know,
we're going to use some tools, and we're
going to cut that side of the car,
and we're going to move you out on a board, all right?
Where are you hurting?
- OK did you lose any consciousness?
- OK. All right.
All right.
- Hey, what are we doing, boys?
What do we need cut?
- I'm just gonna cut that hinge right there.
- Now you want to take him-- are you thinking backboard?
- Yeah, let's do the backboard.
So we'll just slide it over here.
And when you're ready.
- Backboard?
- Wait, we got one.
All right.
- Someone take C-spine.
There you go. Just lay back.
Let us do it. - Lay back.
Lay back-- - Hands across the chest.
- Yeah I got the gurney.
- Yeah.
- All right, buddy here we go.
Ready, two, three.
- Yeah overall, driver of the red vehicle is pretty lucky.
Another foot of impingement from that rear vehicle,
and it would have been a much more sustained extrication.
A lot of the injuries probably would
have been much more severe.
Probably wouldn't have been talking to us
when we cut him out.
- I saw brake lights here, so I swerved over.
And I went into the other lane.
Hit my brakes a little.
I didn't have time, I wasn't paying attention enough,
I didn't have time to frickin' to stop.
- So we need another backboard over here.
- We can readjust.
The legs.
- Right here.
Coming down.
- We got the patient extricated.
Ladder 201 extricated him out of the-- this vehicle here
that had the pickup on top of it.
The young lady here in front was complaining of lower back pain.
Both are going to go to a local trauma center,
be there in just a couple of minutes.
But both were conscious, alert, moving all extremities.
So 10, 15 years ago this probably
would have been a fatality.
But with all the safety devices that they're coming out
with vehicles now, with airbags, side airbags, curtain airbags,
even just the way the cars are built.
They were very fortunate they weren't hurt worse,
but a lot of it had to do with the construction
of the new vehicles.
- We're responding on a call for motor vehicle accident.
It was reported persons trapped.
No number of vehicles were given at this time,
but we can see the scene coming up.
Looks like we may have one vehicle into an overhead crane
here.
So.
On the scene.
- One's trapped in car.
In the front passenger seat.
- OK.
- What do you want?
- I mean, let's see because we can't-- we're not
going to be able to remove him.
Let me get some light in here.
OK what's going on, man?
You can't move that leg?
- Later for that.
Can you get that leg out?
Can you get that leg out of there?
If not, I got to cut you out.
You can't?
OK.
- Got you.
All crews, we may have firearms on the scene.
Get a collar and let's get the spreaders out here.
One person trapped.
Beginning an extrication at this time.
It was two individuals.
One individual was already out of the vehicle,
in the hands of police.
There's possibly firearms inside the car, so it's a big concern.
- Yeah, it is a concern.
- Yeah, right.
Hey, guys.
Hey, hey, slow down.
Wayno, we may have, we may have something-- items in the car,
so be careful. OK?
- Oh, my arm hurts.
- All right.
OK man, look this way.
All right?
OK cool.
Hey, if I can get a-- can I get a sheet?
Can I get a sheet off that medic unit?
Hey, Wayno--
- Yeah?
- Can you guys support that leg over there, if we get
a backboard under him this way?
- Yeah I'll get it.
- OK now listen bruh, it ain't going to be comfortable.
OK?
All right.
So we're going to put this way, I want you to lay
back on this backboard, OK?
Now while we're pulling you out of here,
I want you to keep your hands right here, OK?
On your chest, all right?
Put that other hand on that chest.
Keep them right there.
- We're coming this way.
It's going to hurt.
One, two, three.
- No, you leave your neck down.
You stop moving.
- OK.
- OK we got you, one, two, three.
- Yeah, don't raise your--
raise--
- Keep your hands right there.
- All right, his legs free.
Hey, watch his foot on that wheel.
- Yeah we got him. - Ready?
- Yeah go, on your word.
- That's the only one.
- That's it.
Hey let PD-- let PD go through it, because we
may have things on the scene.
Vehicle struck a bucket crane, which didn't sustain
any damage to the crane itself.
One individual was trapped in the passenger side seat,
with the passenger side door impending on his legs.
It's pretty uncomfortable for the patient.
He's in pretty extreme pain.
Leg injury, neck injury, and he was complaining of back injury.
So he's being transported to the hospital at this time.
We'll probably be wrapping up the scene pretty soon here.
- So what we're headed to right now, guys, is a two-vehicle TC.
A white van, and a white pickup truck,
down here off 5th Street.
Let's get a look over there Fabio.
We might have a critical in that van.
Get a patient count--
- He's trapped in there pretty good.
- We're going to have to do it.
So everything we do, we're going to have
to do from inside the vehicle.
- Yeah.
- We'll go on the side over here.
OK, so have a seat right here.
- All right, where are we-- where we pinned?
Can you undo the seatbelt?
- Hold on, give me one sec.
How are his legs looking down there?
- I can't see good.
Just give me one sec.
- Want to start working on the windshielld.
We're going to need to do a dash roll, and then--
so his legs-- his legs are pinned,
but whatever you need to do to manage that airway right now.
- His airway is good right dude, he's still moving good air.
You can see, he still has his mouth open and everything.
I don't see anything like any bloodshed come out.
- How are you doing in there, bud?
- OK we're going to airway guys.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
- This was a pretty extensive extrication.
It wasn't just a simple door pop.
We had to pull the steering wheel off the patient,
and extend the door frame, because everything was crumpled
and caved in on the patients.
It did pin his legs.
In fact, the brake pedal, and the gas
pedal ended up near his chest.
So there was a lot of impact, a lot of force.
Fortunately, we had our truck and engine on scene.
They both had extrication equipment.
Many hands make light work.
So we're able to do it faster, with more
manpower, so they'll be receiving
the best care possible.
- Yeah, we're gonna pull out the roof.
You're up 42.
- Is he covered?
- Not yet.
- We're covering him up right now.
- Yeah, cover him up we'll start breaking glass.
- Rip off the roof.
- We're gonna cut that glass.
- You gotta marin strap?
- Yeah.
- Don't strap it down.
Just marry the suspension to the tree, that way it won't flip.
- We got out one person trapped inside at this time.
He's about 60-year-old male, and he is--
he's conscious, talking to rescue at this time.
We're going to secure the vehicle, flip down the roof,
and then get him out.
We have a separate rescue coming for transport at this time.
- Yeah, around five and cut the post.
You might not go deep enough with that.
- Most of the glass up here.
Cut through that, cut through that,
and then cut through that.
- Heads-up, heads-up.
His head is right here.
- So you don't want to go from like here over.
- For what?
- Where his head is up against the side of this thing.
- Got it?
- All right, all right.
How're you doing?
Doing good?
- OK, get this.
- Somebody jump in there grab his head.
Here, get this out of your way.
- I have back pain, and right leg pain, OK?
- We got a collar?
- Yeah.
We got a collar right here.
[side conversations]
- You guys ready?
OK, Three, two, one, go.
- Watch your step.
- Watch the hood, just watch the hood.
Just don't trip.
- So what happened--
- Luckily, he wasn't pinned.
- So we have our patient's been extricated.
I believe neck, back, leg pain.
He's going to be taken up to North Broward Trauma Facility.
Level one trauma alert, just to be safe.
I believe I heard them say that he was unsure how this
happened, the driver, but he seemed stable
when they brought him out.
