Buffalo Grove police and fire departments were dispatched for an accident with entrapment Monday morning in the parking lot of the immediate care center at Lake-Cook Road and Weiland Road. The report detailed a vehicle that was upside down and wedged between trees. Arriving units found the vehicle on it’s side in a wooded area along the south edge of the parking lot with the occupant inside.

Firefighters worked to stabilize the vehicle and assess the driver who was conscious. They were able to remove the patient from the car after opening a portion of the roof.

Crash with entrapment near Portage, IN 12-20-23

From Professional Fire Fighters Union of Indiana on Facebook:

Portage Firefighters Local 3151 members rescued a man who had been trapped in his vehicle for six days after he was found by two fishermen. The patient was driving westbound on I-94 when his vehicle left the roadway and went down an embankment. The truck rolled several times and landed upright. It was six days before the accident was discovered by two individuals who were walking the area looking for potential locations to fish.

When Portage Fire Department members arrived on the scene, they administered advanced life support interventions and began to extricate the patient from his vehicle. The extrication took 83 minutes. The patient was transported by air ambulance to a regional hospital. Exceptional job by all Local 3151 members on the scene. Our thoughts and support are with this patient as he continues to receive care.

Firefighters from Buffalo Grove, Prospect Heights, and Wheeling along with police officers from Buffalo Grove and the Cook County Sheriff’s Police responded to a reported car fire Wednesday night near Dundee Road and Buffalo Grove Road. The police arrived first and reported a vehicle fully engulfed by fire on Buffalo Grove Road at East Park Place, which is almost a quarter of a mile south of Dundee Road in a small area of unincorporated Cook County that is within the Prospect Heights Fire District (PHFD).

The area which is without hydrants, is served through an agreement between the PHFD and Buffalo Grove. The initial response included Prospect Heights Battalion 9 with Ambulance 9 along with Buffalo Grove Tower 25. While en route, Battalion 9 requested a second engine after the report of a well-involved car fire and Wheeling Engine 24 was added to the response. A Buffalo Grove ambulance was sent at the request of Tower 25 upon their arrival and the discovery of a two-vehicle crash. Prospect Heights Tanker 9 was added to the response in lieu of using a several block supply line as it became evident that the tank water from both the tower and the engine was not going to be sufficient.

The car’s occupant self extricated and it appeared that the driver of the pickup truck may have fled the scene before the police arrived. One person was transported to the hospital and several others signed releases at the scene.
