Station 2 EMS was dispatched for the auto-accident with unknown injuries at 1:24 a.m. near
the Daylesford Train Station.

Just as Amb. 2-1 went enroute, the Chester County 9-1-1 Center upgraded the response to an
accident with entrapment. This added rescue units and the paramedic from Berwyn.

Amb. 2-1 went on scene and reported a single passenger vehicle that had run off the roadway
and hit a tree with the driver trapped.

The crew of Rescue 2 removed the driver's side door with the Jaws of Life to gain access to
the patient.

The extrication of the victim was completed at 1:49 a.m. Units cleared the scene at 2:53 a.m.
after the Tredyffrin Twp. Police Dept. completed their investigation.

Amb./Medic 2-1 transported the lone occupant to Paoli Hospital in critical condition. The driver
later died from their injuries.
