Road traffic collision

A fire appliance from Somerton was mobilised to Standhill Road, High Ham nr Langport, following a request from Police for our assistance to a 2 vehicle RTC, involving a car and a van, where one person was unable to safely exit their vehicle. 

Our crew worked alongside Ambulance paramedics to assess the casualty, stabilise the vehicle and establish the safest way to extricate them. In the end it was determined to access the patient from the side of van by removing the door post and doors. Once released they were transported to hospital via ambulance as a precaution. We then made the vehicle and scene safe before leaving duty of care with the Police.
