A crash between two vehicles left one trapped driver in Ottawa’s southwest end on Friday.
Ottawa firefighters said they were called to the intersection of Moodie Drive and Fallowfield Road at 3:50 p.m. where they found a trapped driver. This was the result of a collision between a dump truck and an SUV.
The SUV was partially stuck in a ditch and its driver was stuck in the vehicle; the dump truck driver had been able to exit.
Firefighters said they lowered a hose line and used cribbing to make sure the SUV was stable and did not get trapped further into the ditch.
Once the SUV was stabilized, Firefighters said they used specialized hydraulic tools to safely extricate the driver by 4:11 p.m. The driver was then transferred over to Ottawa Paramedics for further treatment.
