This from Larry Shapiro:
Wheeling police and fire units were dispatched to 92 George Road just before noon today (9/23/16) for a one-car crash with entrapment. When they arrived, they found a small SUV resting sideways on the support cables for a utility pole in front of the house. The driver was conscious in the vehicle, but unable to get out.
Firefighters stabilized the car and then removed the driver who was transported to the hospital.
A Com Ed crew was requested to evaluate the situation and they determined that there was damage to the pole. After securing the pole with a truck-mounted boom, the two steel cables were cut dropping the car to the ground for removal.

From a reader:
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get pictures, however, I was listening to the fire radio at that time . Bolingbrook engine and medic 3 got there first. Lisle Woodridge engine 52, medic 51, battalion 51 and tower 53 were toned out shortly after Bolingbrook got on scene. Bolingbrook engine 5 was also on scene. The victim was announced DOA . ( medic 51 got canceled, and as a side note, lisle Woodridge had a ton of medical calls yesterday, so medic 52 was unavailable)

A few shots of what was dispatched as a pin in, EB JFK at Natoma. Nobody was pinned when I arrived. At least 1 was removed to a trauma center. Looked bad … hopefully the injuries were minor. A good view of the blocking technique.
