MVA in North Chicago with extrication, 9/21/15

Excerpts from ChicagoTribune.com:

Firefighters spent over an hour on Monday afternoon to rescue an injured woman trapped in her SUV following a collision with a dump truck on northbound Route 41, just south of Highway 137 in North Chicago, around 12:50 p.m.

The woman was later airlifted by Flight for Life, a specialized medical transport service.

"It was a very challenging extrication," said Cmdr. Joshua Rickabaugh of the North Chicago Fire Department. "The victim was pinned in such a way that it was difficult to maneuver the vehicle around her."

Fire departments from Libertyville, Knollwood, and Great Lakes also responded to assist at the scene.
