Interesting Rescue- Santee

1 post in this topic

On early Sunday morning, 911 calls started coming into Heartland Communications about a vehicle crash. The initial assignment was approximately 01:14 hours.  The address was close to the intersection of Ironwood Avenue & Princess Joann Road, Santee.  It appears a sedan may have been traveling at high speed, with 4 male teens aboard.  It struck a K-Rail at a construction site, then vehicle went airborne, spun 180 degrees, landing in an open storm drain trench box.  Victims status were 3 critical, 1 serious to critical.  There was some extensive extrication required, and I believe part of the problem was the fire rigs could not directly access the scene due to the K-Rails.  Portable lighting was set-up.  The assignment of units is as follows:

 

Cop1

T4

B2

E2

R5

M436

E1

E4

E6

M4

M6

MER6

 

I assume the extensive manpower was due to carrying rescue equipment to scene, and a MCI.  Here is video from the scene:
