Stations 1, 5, 26
and 27 responded to an overturned vehicle on I-95 at the 68 mile marker
northbound Tuesday evening 23-September. The accident occurred at
approximately 18:12. The northbound mini-van lost control when the
driver fell asleep, crossed two lanes of traffic before overturning and
rolling down an embankment. The two elderly occupants were wearing
seatbelts and were not seriously injured. They were unable to exit
the vehicle. The van landed at the wood line. Firefighters used a chain
saw to cut several trees to access the vehicle. A Glass-master Tool was
used to remove the windshield. Both occupants were assisted
out of the vehicle and back up the embankment. Neither patient
wished to be transported to the hospital.
