WEDNESDAY JUNE 21, 2006 - LTFD and Millersville Fire Company responded to a single vehicle accident with possible entrapment in the 1900 block of Millersville Road.

Lancaster County Wide Communications reported an erratic driver travelling at a high rate of speed hit a pole across from the Elizabeth Martin Elementary School, in the area of Comet Field.

Millersville Fire Company was initially dispatched to the accident at 11:30 am. Upon the arrival of Millersville Fire Chief Keith Eshleman, he determined the accident was in Lancaster Township.

Millersville firefighters and Lancaster EMS personnel removed the driver from the vehicle through the  passenger side door.

Due to a medical condition, the driver of the vehicle left Millersville Road just south of the Barbara Street stop light in Millersville Borough.

The driver continued through a field next to the roadway in a large arc travelling from an open field onto Penn Manor Comet Field property.

The truck travelled over 500 feet through 2 fields, making it's way back to Millersville Road.

The vehicle came to a halt in Lancaster Township after hitting a PPL pole, a large wooden street sign and side swiping a passing car in the 1900 block of Millersville Road.

Millersville Borough Police and Lancaster Township Fire Police controlled traffic around the accident scene.

Emergency personnel remained on the scene for just over an hour
