Cherry Hill Firefighters and EMTs were dispatched to the intersection of Route 70 and Old Orchard Road for a motor vehicle accident with a reported person trapped. Additional information included that a commercial truck may have been involved. When they arrived, they encountered a single car accident, where the car had flipped over, coming to rest on its passenger side.
Firefighters stabilized the vehicle with specialized mechanical struts and heavy wood cribbing. Once stable, they entered the car via the sunroof to assess the lone victim, who was trapped in the rear passenger seat area. The patient was removed via the rear cargo door and loaded into an awaiting CHFD ambulance and transported to Cooper Hospital, Trauma Division. No other injuries were reported at the scene.
