Rescue crews used struts to stabilize the vehicle to make sure it did not shift during patient removal.
The patient was extricated by a joint effort of fire and EMS personnel on scene.
Berwyn's partnership with Good Fellowship's Paramedic Program allows for Paramedics in Training to gain real world experience in all types of situations.
FF/EMR Mary Ellen Toscani cleans up the extrication tools and rescue struts after an extrication lasting under 10 minutes.
Berwyn's unique ability to provide Fire, Rescue, ALS and BLS services is a tremendous benefit to our residents and those who travel through our district.
Another job well done by an outstanding group of volunteers and career personnel who serve Tredyffrin and Easttown 24/7/365.

Just after lunchtime today, Berwyn EMS and Rescue units were dispatched to Route 202 in the area of Devon Park Drive for a motor vehicle collision. Units responded in under 2 minutes and arrived to find a pick-up truck overturned with the driver trapped inside. The crew of Ambulance 2-1 began immediate assessment and treatment of the patient while the crew of Engine 2-2, Ambulance 2-2 and Tower 2 stabilized the vehicle and created a pathway for patient removal. The driver was extricated in under ten minutes.
The single patient was transported to a local trauma center for further evaluation and treatment. All fire/EMS units cleared the incident scene before 2:00 p.m.
Thanks to the Tredyffrin Township Police Department for the assist and keeping our personnel safe on the highway while we operated in difficult section of Route 202.
