CFD MVA with extrication, 5/7/16

May 10

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Crash scene photos | 4 Comments

This from Steve Redick:

I took in a pin in accident Saturday morning (5/7/16) on the EB JFK@Sayre. Tragically the outcome of this was one fatality. I was able to get some good images of much of the extrication and the overall scene with apparatus placement. I have never really seen the battery operated spreaders and tools in operation before. It seems like they used two sets of the spreaders and a sawzall. Despite this being a tragic incident I feel that the training potential of some of these images is worth sharing.
