1-10-2008

On Thursday, January 10th, the PVVFD was dispatched to a single-vehicle collision on Highway 41-A.

Engines 401, 405, and Squad 431 responded.  First-arriving units found a late-model pickup truck had struck a tree head-on.  The injured driver was trapped.

Crews extricated the patient by removing the driver's door from the vehicle.  Surprisingly, there was no air bag deployment, despite the frontal impact. 

The patient was transported by Cheatham County EMS.  Pleasant View Police and Cheatham Co. Sheriff's Department units were also on scene.
