9.3.11 Holiday Weekend Starts off Busy for Cherry Hill Firefighters & EMTs.

At 0825 in the morning of September 3, 2001, Firefighters responded to a motor vehicle accident in the 700 block of Cooper Landing Road. A single car accident ended up with a utility pole broken in half and the wires dangling just feet above the vehicle. Injuries were minor, but this major cross township roadway was closed for most of the day.

Later in the afternoon, at almost 4:30, Firefighters and EMTs responded to a two car accident at the intersection of Evesham & Springdale Roads. One vehicle had flipped onto its’ side and the driver was trapped. This automatically sends the Rescue Unit to respond along with the on duty Battalion Chief. Crews worked to stabilize the vehicle so EMTs could get inside and prepare the victim. Then rescue personnel removed the roof in order to get the victim out. The victim was transported to the Trauma Center at Cooper Hospital.

Both these accidents are under investigation by Cherry Hill Police.
