Prolonged extrication? (This may tie right into our Medevac discussion.)

Maybe somebody has photos to share. Yes, medi-vac's definately a good judgement of use at prolonged extrication if available.

Interesting enough this accident comes on the same day of the LoHud article in which William Gorton, a DOT regional director stated that the new "rumble strips will reduce the number and severity of incidents along this section of Route 9."

The new rumble strips were cut and run from where the road comes back together by Susan Drive to just about the county line. They are also supposed to lower the speed limit as well.
