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

Excerpts from the 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 137 in North Chicago, around 12:50 p.m.

The woman was later transported by Flight for Life, a specialized air ambulance service, to a nearby hospital for further treatment.

"It was an extremely challenging extrication," said Cmdr. Joshua Rickabaugh of the North Chicago Fire Department. "The victim was pinned in such a way that we had to carefully maneuver the vehicle around her to ensure her safety."

Fire crews from Libertyville, Knollwood, and Great Lakes fire departments also responded to the scene to assist with the operation.
