Serious Accident On Beartown Hill
By Fire Chief Barry Messner, Jr.
July 14, 2011
On Tuesday July 12th, 2011, the Honey Brook Fire Company was dispatched for 2 ambulances and fire police to Route 322 and Shady Lane, in Caernarvon Township Lancaster County, for a serious automobile accident with entrapment. Caernarvon and Goodville Fire Companies also were dispatched.
Crews arrived to find one patient unresponsive, one trapped, and numerous others needing immediate medical attention. Crews worked together to triage, treat, extricate, package, and transport the patients to various trauma centers in a quick and expedient manner. One patient was flown from the scene via PennStar medical helicopter. Unfortunately one patient died from their injuries.
Fire police handled traffic control around the scene as crews were working at the scene. 33 EMS units cleared after transporting their patients. 33 fire police cleared after the roadway was cleared and cleaned.
Our condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
