Rombout Takes in Interstate
84 Pin Job
On Friday, December 30, 2005, Rombout was dispatched to a
roll-over auto-accident with entrapment on Interstate 84 Westbound near the
Carey Rd overpass. The driver, a 23 year old female, lost control of the car,
swerving into the center median, taking out several large trees, rolling over at
least once. The extrication required a "roof-roll" and several trees had to be
cut.
The patient was transported, via State Police Helicopter Life
Guard 18, to Westchester Medical Center. The patient was suffering numerous
internal injuries and broken bones.
Special Thanks to the Village of Fishkill Fire Dept for
setting up the Medevac Landing Zone at the former Dutchess Mall site.
