Second Alarm in District - Vehicle Accident

On Thursday evening, June 21st, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company was alerted for a vehicle accident on Long Neck Road in the  vicinity of the Sandbar. It was reported to be a vehicle into a commercial structure.

Indian River’s incident response included: Incident Command and Rescue 80 from the Oak Orchard facility and Engine #80-5 from the Long Neck facility. Indian River’s Duty Officer was Steven R. Hawkins.

An initial incident summary was provided by a responding fire police officer who identified a single vehicle into a commercial structure as reported with significant structure damage to the building and no occupant entrapment.

While traveling to the incident location on Long Neck Road, the Incident Command apparatus approached a multiple vehicle collision in the vicinity of Leisure Point, notified the Sussex County Emergency Operations of such, and directed Engine #80-5 to coordinate mitigation efforts for the vehicle accident at this second location.

Engine #80-5 coordinated the initial incident evaluation and identified a two vehicle collision, with one vehicle requiring a door pop to access the occupant of the vehicle. Engine #80-5 and the Delaware State Fire Police completed the necessary actions to clear this accident situation.

It appears that a Toyota Highlander and a Toyota sedan crashed causing passenger side damage to the Highlander and front end damage to the Toyota sedan. The Highlander spun and came to rest in a floral median and the sedan stopped in the northbound lanes of the roadway.

Emergency response crews were required to coordinate vehicle stabilization, patient assessment and stabilization, traffic control, and scene assessment. It was also determined that a door pop would be required to access the vehicle's occupant compartment.

The Delaware State Police are investigating.

All emergency response units continued to respond to the initial incident in the area of Sandbar Village. You may locate additional information regarding this incident response at  http://www.irvfc.com/gallery.cfm?id=1079&ss=1
