At 2:23 p.m. Friday (Feb. 27) afternoon, Vancouver Fire Department was dispatched to a motor vehicle accident at the intersection of NE 117th Avenue and NE 87th Street in Vancouver.
Upon arrival, crews found a truck versus SUV collision with one vehicle resting on its side and patients trapped inside. Firefighters quickly initiated extrication procedures, removing the roof of the vehicle using specialized hydraulic rescue tools while simultaneously providing patient care.
