One Pinned On Southwest Freeway

June 7,2007...Vito Maggiolo

A crumpled SUV with one pinned inside provided a tough challenge to D.C. firefighters on Thursday evening, June 7th.

Rescue Squad 1 was called to the scene on the Southwest Freeway around 10:30 P.M. after first arriving units found the vehicle in a wreck with a tractor-trailer.

The squad crew was forced to use a variety of extrication tools in order to cut the twisted metal away from the trapped driver.

The victim was finally freed and transported to a local trauma center.
