Heavy Damage Reported in Multi-Vehicle Crash on I-90 Westbound

Springfield Township, PA – Last evening at approximately 7:15 PM, Springfield Volunteer Fire Department, A.F. Dobler Hose (Girard), and West County Paramedics units 110, 112, and 116 were dispatched to a reported multi-vehicle crash with rollover along Interstate 90 westbound near the 4-mile marker.

Initial reports indicated that two school buses and two passenger vehicles were involved. Due to the reported mechanism and potential severity of the crash, STAT MedEvac was placed on standby.

As units responded, the Erie County Department of Public Safety advised that multiple callers were reporting the crash. Pennsylvania State Police arrived shortly afterward and confirmed that the school buses were unoccupied, with possible entrapment reported in one of the passenger vehicles.

West County 112 arrived on scene and relayed PSP’s report while confirming heavy vehicle damage. EMS personnel quickly began triaging the patients and establishing an accurate patient count. West County 110 arrived shortly afterward. Engines 642 and 644 also arrived and began assessing the scene while assisting with patient access and packaging.

Fire police and Pennsylvania State Police restricted westbound traffic to one lane while emergency personnel worked at the scene.

Girard’s 544 responded as an additional rescue engine, as requested on the initial dispatch. Cranesville Volunteer Fire Department also responded with an additional ambulance, along with Engine 604, to assist. Once all patients had been removed from the vehicles and it was determined that no additional rescue apparatus was needed, Girard’s 544 and Cranesville’s 604 were placed back in service prior to arriving on scene.

West County 112 and Cranesville 607 transported a total of two patients to nearby hospitals. Vehicle recovery technicians from Eagle Towing were requested to the scene to remove the involved vehicles. Crews remained on scene for an extended period while Pennsylvania State Police investigated the crash and Eagle Towing worked to recover and remove the vehicles from the interstate.
