Buffalo Grove police and firefighters were called to the scene of a two-car MVA on Weiland Road just north of Deerfield Parkway Wednesday at noon. Both drivers were injured. Damage to the driver’s side of the sedan hampered access to remove the patient and a pin-in response was requested. Two engines, two ambulances, and Battalion 4 were at the crash site in addition to several police officers. One patient was transported to Northwest Community Hospital and the other went to Condell Hospital.

This from Larry Shapiro:

Buffalo Grove firefighters and police were dispatched for a car into the house at 386 S. Buffalo Grove Road on Monday morning 5/9/16. A caller reported that two cars were involved and someone was lying in the front yard near the car. Firefighters found one, conscious and alert patient on the grass and no apparent damage to the house as the car came to rest in a flowerbed. One person was transported to the hospital.

MVA with entrapment near Long Grove, 3-18-15

This from Larry Shapiro:

Long Grove FPD units with mutual aid companies from Buffalo Grove, Prospect Heights, and Arlington Heights were dispatched to a tractor-trailer rollover with possible entrapment on the NB I-53 offramp to EB Lake Cook Road around 2:40 this afternoon (3/18/15). Buffalo Grover Tower 25 was the first unit on-scene and confirmed that two occupants were trapped inside the truck that was on it’s roof. He requested a 2nd ambulance and a heavy-wrecker with airbags to assist with the rescue.

Two separate extrications were going … with Long Grove working to free the passenger while Buffalo Grove and Prospect Heights attended to the driver. There was talk of requesting a helicopter due to what was anticipated to be a prolonged extrication, but there was no need. The passenger was freed first and the driver shortly thereafter. Arlington Heights Ambulance 4 and Long Grove Ambulance 55 transported to Lutheran General and Condell respectively.

Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Squad 51 was requested as a third squad but was released as they arrived on the scene.

Here are a few images from the scene with a full gallery at shapirophotography.net. I will also have a video of the extrication, plus images and video of the recovery by Hillside Towing.

Driver killed in head-on crash in Long Grove 10-22-14

This from Larry Shapiro:

Firefighters were called to the scene of a head-on crash this afternoon on Old McHenry Road north of Cuba Road in Long Grove. First arriving companies reported one car vs a semi with a fire and the car’s driver trapped. The driver was extricated in short order and transported to Condell Hospital … the fire, reported to have encroached into the passenger compartment was quickly contained.

The semi was parked on the shoulder (northbound on the southbound side of the road) as the driver was delivering building materials up a long driveway with a piggyback truck mounted forklift. He reported seeing smoke as he approached the street having never heard the impact of the crash. He attempted to fight the fire with an extinguisher as did a Lake County Sheriff’s deputy prior to the arrival of the fire department.

Here are some images from the scene.

This from Larry Shapiro:

Wheeling and Buffalo Grove companies responded to a reported MVA with entrapment around the corner from my house this morning. The car left the roadway in Buffalo Grove and ended up in Wheeling. Wheeling companies arrived first and handled the transport. The car went up on the sidewalk, demolished a large portion of a new fence, took out one tree and either ricocheted off or navigated between five others.

There was no entrapment. here are a few images from the scene.
