At approximately 2:00 pm this afternoon, Company 4 was alerted to the PA Turnpike for a reported multi-vehicle crash with possible entrapment, ejection, and a car over a hillside. Rescue 4 arrived to find a two vehicle crash, one car was partially over an embankment and the uninjured driver had self-extricated. A second vehicle was on the shoulder with heavy rear-end damage. The unresponsive driver had been extricated by bystanders and was laying in the grassy area beyond the shoulder. The patient was in traumatic arrest and R-4 crews immediately began life saving efforts. Medic 47 and Ambulance 48 arrived and assumed advanced life saving care on the patient who was loaded into the ambulance and taken to Forbes Hospital where crews were able to regain pulses before arriving.
