At approximately 6:30pm on May 8, 2010, the Putnam Valley Fire Department along with Putnam Valley Ambulance Corp., Transcare paramedics (Putnam County Medic 2) and New York State Police were requested to respond to the Taconic State Parkway, just north of Bryant Pond Road, for a personal injury auto accident with the occupant trapped in the vehicle. First to arrive was Assistant Chief Angstadt, along with Medic 2, confirming a one vehicle accident with entrapment. Access was gained to the patient and medic(s) began assessment of his injuries. Once fire apparatus arrived (Engine/Rescue 24-2-1), firefighters assisted the medic in packaging the patient for removal from the vehicle. Putnam Valley Ambulance transported the patient to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla along with Medic 2. Due to the amount of damage to the vehicle, fire apparatus stayed on scene until the vehicle was removed.
