SUNDAY AUGUST 29, 2010 - Lancaster Township Fire Department was dispatched at 2:14 a.m., Sunday August 29 for a vehicle accident with entrapment in front of 1633 Judie Lane.
Additional information from Lancaster County Wide Communications relayed to the incoming apparatus was the car was reported to be overturned with two patients.
Arriving firefighters found the car upright, not overturned, with one patient in the passenger seat and the driver out of the vehicle walking around.
Firefighters could open the passenger side door far enough to safely extricate the patient. The driver of the car initially refused medical treatment but was later transported to the hospital for evaluation.
Residents of the apartments gathered around the accident scene as the firefighters packaged the patients for transport by ambulance to the hospital.
The vehicle, a black 2007 Saturn Sky convertible was traveling east in the 1600 block of Judie Lane in front of The Village Of Lancaster Green Apartments when he lost control of the vehicle.
The vehicle left the roadway at the curve in front of 1623 Judie Lane, traveled across the grassy knoll in front of the apartments and struck a tree causing major damage to the passenger side front end.
The car continued over a driveway separating the apartment buildings crashing thru a plastic fence. The car continued forward striking a second tree in front of 1633 Judie Lane on the driver side of the car where it came to a stop.
Car parts were strewn across the lawn of the apartments. A tire that was ripped from the vehicle during the accident was used to prop up a patient on a backboard until a litter arrived from a second ambulance.
Firefighters remained on the scene for approximately one hour. Fire police diverted traffic around the accident scene.
