Richmond July 22, 2010

At 0816 hours, someone walked up to station 5 alerting them of an accident one block from the station. The person reported that it was an accident at Belviedere and Leigh Street with a lady trapped in the car. While responding to the call, Quint 5 requested the remainder of the assignment. Quint 5 arrived on scene to find a 2-car accident with one person still in the car. Quint 5 quickly “popped” the driver’s door and placed all other units back in service. Richmond Ambulance and Quint 5 packaged the patient. Units cleared shortly after 0900 hours.
