Statistics
Narrative
West Springfield, PA – Early this morning, at approximately 5:30 AM, Springfield Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to a service call at Zimmers Service Center for a tree down on an unoccupied vehicle. Utility 646 responded to the scene. While enroute, units were informed that a large tree limb had fallen onto a vehicle and all occupants had safely exited.
However, when Utility 646 arrived, it was determined that the vehicle had collided with the limb either as it was falling or shortly thereafter. Springfield Volunteers worked to clean the roadway of the remaining tree debris when they arrived on scene. Chief 640 notified county dispatch that Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) were needed on scene as the incident was now classified as a motor vehicle accident (MVA) involving a tree limb, rendering the vehicle inoperable. PSP arrived on scene shortly after to complete a crash report. Once PSP arrived on scene, Springfield cleared the scene. No injuries were reported.
