A spectacular car crash occured last weekend when a car left the roadway, struck a hydro pole guy wire (narrowly missing the pole) crossed a driveway, hit a retaining wall and tree, continued across the driveway, struck the sidewalk, through a fence into the next yard, hit another retaining wall and came to rest on the passenger side against a house. The driver (the mother of one of our members) was conscious and still in the drivers seat on arrival. The vehicle was quickly stabilized by the crew on Engine 2. Next arriving Engine 1 assisted Engine 2 and Rescue 1 set up for extrication. The Jaws of Life were used to remove the roof and free the driver, who miraculously suffered only minor injuries. She was treated and released from hospital and is making a good recovery. Thanks to everyone for a job well done.
