Shortly before 09:00 a.m. on June 29, 2008, Robertsville Fire was dispatched to the scene of a possible extrication to the rear of Marlboro Plaza.
Chief Badler 28-2-66 arrived to find a station wagon underneath a van with the driver still trapped in the vehicle. Heavy Rescue 286 and Rescue Engine 274 went to work stabilizing with their vehicle stabilization jacks as Engine 275 and Utility 287 arrived on scene to help with the extrication. The patient was removed within approximately 30 minutes from Time of Dispatch and placed in the care of the waiting Morganville EMS crew who would transport him to
a local hospital for evaluation and treatment.
While the extrication was ongoing the Marlboro PD interviewed witnesses who advised the station wagon hit a dumpster 100 feet away and ricocheted into the parked unoccupied work van. Investigation of the crash is ongoing.
