Approx. 0530 hrs, employees were making their way into Reese for shift change. EVOD Krebs noticed a pick-up truck rolled over directly in front of the station and an occupant yelling for help. Krebs alerted the medic crew and a crew sleeping in that night of the call immediately. Medic 99 and Rescue Squad 9 responded across the street to find one truck on its side against a tree with one patient trapped. Crews went to work to stabilize the vehicle and make access to the patient with a roof flap. Engine 92 also responded and assisted the Squad with extrication of the patient. Brush 95 handled the landing site for the Trooper transporting the patient to Shock Trauma. All units were in service within approx. 45 minutes.
