Stations 1 and 19 responded to a MVC with entrapment on Cottageville Hwy. east of Phillips Road 8-February at 0253. A westbound Lexus SUV failed to negotiate the curve and left the right side of the road striking a driveway culvert. The car then flipped end over end twice striking a wooden fence. The car came to rest on the driver’s side. The driver received several non-life threatening trauma injuries. The man was extremely lucky. A 2x6 fence rail was impaled through the windshield and wedged by the steering column. After the removal of the windshield, the driver was able to self extricate with assistance. He was boarded and transported to Colleton Medical Center for further treatment.

Engine 19, Rescue 1, Medic 19 and Battalion 1 responded. Engineer-EMT-I Chad Spell served as Incident Commander.
