Emergency crews responded on Sunday afternoon to a motor vehicle accident on the Hutchinson River Parkway northbound, between Exit 14 and the merge with the Cross County Parkway Eastbound. The dangerous curve on the Hutch added another car to its crash count as the Pontiac sedan flew off the roadway, overturning and landing more than 50 feet into the woods, coming to rest against a tree. The car had a total of five occupants; four adults and one child; all but one adult were found walking around outside the vehicle; the fifth victim required minor extrication by rescue crews.

The multi-agency dispatch sent emergency crews from the two closest districts: Eastchester and New Rochelle. Medical Operations were headed by Eastchester EMS Chief Mikos, 57-11, alongside the Eastchester EMS Paramedic, 57-M1, as well as all three ambulances from Eastchester EMS (EVAC). Westchester County Police also responded to the scene.

After all patients were extricated from the crash scene and brought out of the woods to street level, EMS Command took over patient care as various members from Eastchester EMS took on designated roles in mass casualty operations to render care to all five victims of the crash, ensuring they received top-notch, undivided pre-hospital care. Transport decisions were made to transport all patients to a local trauma center after being stabilized in the ambulances. All patients sustained only minor injuries.
