Ottawa firefighters safely extricated a trapped driver following a two-vehicle crash in the city’s southwest end on Thursday afternoon. According to a post on social media from Ottawa Fire Services, crews responded to a police request for assistance at the scene of a crash involving an overturned dump truck at the intersection of Moodie Drive and Fallowfield Drive at approximately 3:50 p.m. The driver of the dump truck was able to exit their vehicle on their own, but the driver of the other vehicle, an SUV, remained trapped inside. Firefighters stabilized the SUV and used specialized hydraulic tools to safely extricate the driver. Ottawa Paramedic Service spokesperson Marc-Antoine Deschamps says the driver sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to the hospital in serious but stable condition.
