WATERBURY, CT - Shortly before 10:30 p.m. on June 4, 2008, Waterbury Fire was dispatched to the scene of a possible extrication at the intersection of Grove and Prospect Streets.
Engine 10 and Truck 1 arrived to find an SUV on it's side with the driver still trapped in the vehicle. Truck 1 went to work stabilizing the suv with their vehicle stabilization jacks as Rescue 9 arrived on scene to help with the extrication. The patient was removed within approximately 10 minutes and placed in the care of the waiting EMS crew who would transport him to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment.
While the extrication was ongoing the Waterbury PD interviewed witnesses who gave a description of the fleeing vehicle and by the time the victim was on his way to the hospital they had a black pickup with heavy front end damage which along with it's occupants fit the description from the witnesses. The pickup and it's occupants were taken into custody as part of the ongoing investigation of the crash.
