Close Call in Weekend Signal 80

On Saturday, March 5, 2005 and during a brief snow storm, the volunteers from Moyers Corners Stations 4 and 2 were dispatched for the motor vehicle accident with injuries on Oswego Road (Rt. 57) South of Wetzel Road.  A Navarino Chief arrived to find one individual still trapped inside the vehicle in the process of self extricating himself.  Moyers Corners units arrived to find a two car MVA with injuries (nobody trapped) and hazards.  E-22 (Capt. Naum) arrived and secured the traffic from the South, took the vehicle hazards and assisted in pt. care while R-4 (Lt. Zeppetello) arrived and secured the Northbound traffic and handled pt. care of the previously pinned individual.  In total, 2 patients were transported to a local trauma center for evaluation and treatment while additional individuals were evaluated and signed release refusing additional care.  Moyers Corners units cleared within 35 minutes.  Thank you to the Moyers Corners Fire Police units and the Town of Clay Police Department for assisting with operations and scene safety.
