4 in Critical Condition in L.A. Traffic Collision

Department: LAFD - [Los Angeles, California]

On Monday, February 11, at 10:27 AM, 2 Companies of Los Angeles Firefighters, 6 LAFD Rescue Ambulances, 2 EMS Battalion Captains and 1 Battalion Chief Officer Command Team, all under the direction of Battalion Chief Brian Cummings, responded to a Traffic Accident at 2401 E. Anaheim St. in the Wilmington / Harbor City area.

Fire Department resources arriving on scene, found a two vehicle traffic accident, which caused one of the vehicles, a four-door sedan to veer off the road, striking a tree. The initial triage, using the START system, indicated five patients, four in critical condition and two needing extrication. The driver, male 63, of the sedan and the front passenger, female 52, were extricated from the vehicle. There were two additional passengers, a male 48, and a female 38. All occupants of the vehicle were listed in critical condition and transported to area hospitals. The driver of the second vehicle, a female 58, was also assessed, treated and transported in moderate condition.

Although this incident appeared horrific, the fact that there were no fatalities can greatly be attribued to the occupants use of seat belts and the vehicles being equipped with air bags.
