Narrative

McKean Township, PA – This morning at approximately 10:30 AM, first responders from McKean Hose Company and Central County Paramedics (CECPA) were dispatched to a reported two-car motor vehicle accident at the intersection of the I-90 eastbound exit ramp and Sterrettania Road. While en route, units were informed of two heavily damaged vehicles with possible entrapment. In response to the potential entrapment, Chief 400 requested additional engine support from Millcreek. MP27 was the first to arrive on scene, confirming the initial reports of heavy damage, which was quickly corroborated by Rescue 408. Although Chief 400 reported no entrapment, additional ambulances were requested due to the number of patients. Fire police from West Ridge was also requested due to vehicles obstructing the roadway on Sterrettania Road – a section Sterrettania Road was closed while crews were on scene.

In total, five ambulances were dispatched to the scene. Three patients were transported to nearby hospitals by MP 27 and 967, while the remaining ambulances were released from the scene and returned in service. The other three patients refused medical services on scene.

Multiple troopers from the Pennsylvania State Police were on-site, investigating the accident. Rescue technicians from West County Towing cleared the disabled vehicles, and the roadway was reopened shortly thereafter.
