SIX NATIONS, ON – On Saturday afternoon, two Six Nations fire stations and firefighters were dispatched for a report of a single vehicle collision with possibly two patients trapped in the car in a ditch at 1157 Mohawk Road in Six Nations of the Grand River territory.
Six Nations Pumper/Rescue #1 and Pumper #2 arrived on scene shortly after the call was received.
First arriving crews reported that a small four-door car had left the road way, struck a tree and confirmed that an adult male was trapped in the vehicle and one child, who was securely strapped in a car seat, was not trapped.
Working in conjunction with Six Nations Advanced Care & Primary Care Paramedics, Six Nations Firefighters and Police Services, about a dozen first responders stabilized the vehicle and proceeded to utilize a chain saw to remove a portion of the tree, which the car had struck and then proceeded to utilize the Jaws of Life and Hydraulic Cutters to extricate the trapped patient from the car.
One male patient, approximately 24 years of age, and one female child of unknown age were transported to West Haldimand General Hospital by paramedics. The condition of both patients is unknown at this time.
Six Nations Police remained on scene to complete their investigation.
