On a Saturday in the city of Ventura, California, a crash incident was reported requiring the swift response of emergency services. The Ventura City Fire Department (VCFD) received the calls around 1:45 p.m., reporting a crash on Loma Vista Road and North Victoria Avenue.
The incident involved two vehicles, a pickup truck and an SUV, each carrying two individuals. According to reports from the VCFD, the crash trapped all occupants from both involved vehicles. Ventura police first arriving at the scene reported the pickup truck flipped on its side, but both passengers had been able to self-extricate.
The situation with the second vehicle was more severe. The SUV involved in the incident had collided with a parked car and caused critical injuries to both occupants who remained trapped inside. The precise relation between the parked car and the pickup truck was not immediately clear from the reports.
The VCFD crew promptly initiated emergency response procedures. The SUV was stabilized, and the complex extrication process began with the utilization of the Jaws Of Life. The operation, despite being technically sophisticated with multiple trapped patients, proved successful, and all patients were freed within 30 minutes from the crews arrival.
In conclusion, a total of four patients were transported to local hospitals. As of the last reports on Saturday afternoon, the condition of these individuals remained unknown. More specific details on the cause of the crash were also not provided.
