Milton, PA- On Tuesday February 15 at 1234
the Milton and Turbot Township fire departments were
dispatched to Interstate 180 at Interstate 80 for a tractor
trailer rollover with entrapment. Crews arrived to find a
tractor trailer carrying cat food lying on its drivers side
just off the I-80 on ramp. The driver, who did not appear to
be seriously injured, was pinned between the steering wheel
and the drivers seat.
Crews utilized Sawzalls to expand an existing
sunroof large enough to extricate the victim. The X-Tractor
cutters were then used to cut the steering wheel away from
the driver. The driver was transported by Milton Ambulance
to the Geisinger Medical Center.
