At 3:30 PM Station 77, Engine 34, and Medic 324 were dispatched to an auto accident with injuries in the 200 block of E Third Ave, also known as Route 113 in Trappe Borough for a reported vehicle into a ditch.
DC77 arrived within 4 minutes and located a car into a small creek about 50 feet off the main roadway. The car had been traveling northbound on Route 113 and lost control sending it over a dirt embankment and landing in the creek. All three persons had self extricated themselves from the vehicle prior to fire department arrival and Station 34 was recalled except for Fire Police. Stations 77 and 34 Fire Police then blocked off Route 113 and Betcher Road and College Ave.
E77 arrived and stood by while Norms towing removed the vehicle. There were no leaking fluids and no additional hazards to the creek or the environment. All three persons in the car had minor injuries and refused EMS transport.
Once the car was removed and the area was cleaned, all units returned and the roadway was opened.
