Narrative

West Springfield, PA – Early this morning at just before 2 AM, first responders from Springfield Volunteer Fire Department and West County Paramedic Association were dispatched to a reported motor vehicle accident with rollover and ejection near 14200 Ridge Road. Due to the nature of the call, STAT MedEvac was placed on standby. On dispatch, crews were advised that the car left the roadway, rolled over into a cornfield, and that the driver was ejected from the vehicle. West County 112, Engine 643, and Utility 646 responded to the scene. Erie County dispatch advised West County 112 and advised of "serious" injuries per PSP. West County 112 requested STAT, however STAT was unable to fly due to weather.

Shortly after, Engine 643 and Utility 646 arrived on scene and 651 assumed command. Utility 646 was used to close Route 20 eastbound traffic at Route 5. Springfield personnel provided patient care while West County 112 was en route to the scene. Once West County 112 arrived, Springfield and West County responders transferred the patient to West County 112, who subsequently transported the patient to UPMC Hamot.

Pennsylvania State Police were on scene investigating the accident. During this time, the road remained closed. Additionally, Engine 643 assisted with scene lighting for PSP. No further details are currently available.
