The passenger side door was removed with the jaws of life as medics with Memorial EMS and Lifeguard EMS began patient care. Once the door was removed enough access was gained to be able to package the passenger and remove him from the vehicle. Removing the passenger allowed easier access to the driver. He was also packaged and removed out the driver’s side door. Both persons from the Geo were transported to Erlanger Hospital in critical condition. The driver of the Pathfinder denied injuries and remained on the scene. The East Ridge Police Department is investigating the cause of the accident. |
