Lake Harmony, Albrightsville, and Lake Harmony Ambulance were dispatched to a report of a tractor trailer rollover with entrapment on Interstate 80 near the 275 West bound mile marker early on Christmas Eve. Lake Harmony Ambulance arrived on scene first to find a male pinned in the cab of a tractor trailer that was on its side off of the roadway. Engine 1653 and Engine 17’s crews cut the windshield of the tractor. Deputy 17 was then able to make entry into the cab and cut the steering wheel to start to free the victim. Once the steering wheel was removed, the seat base needed to be carefully displaced due to the victims location
using the spreaders. Once the seat base was moved, the victim was extricated from the truck. Extrication was complete within 15 minutes.
