Cannon Beach Fire
& Rescue EMTs found one occupant who was conscious and alert.
The drivers side airbag had deployed saving the occupant from more serious
injuries.
Extrication was difficult due to the steep slope, and the occupants legs
were trapped under the dash.
The drivers side door was removed and the dash was elevated using the
Jaws Of Life.
This allowed the patient to be extricated to the downhill side of the
vehicle.
