Vehicle Crash

Squad 50, Engine 50, Engine 51, Squad 130, Ambulance 160, Squad 71 and Battalion 160 responded with CCSO and UHP to a vehicle crash on the Long Divide west of Newton.

One of the vehicles had rolled onto its side as it exited the roadway and the driver felt the vehicle tipping so he remained inside, not sure if it would roll further. With the help of nearby equipment and cribbing from Engine 51 the vehicle was stabilized and the driver exited under his own power.

Both drivers were evaluated by medical personnel but neither required transport. All Fire/EMS units cleared after the vehicles had been removed from the scene.
