In the early hours of Friday, September 2nd, 2016, a severe car accident occurred at the busy intersection of Lake-Cook Road and IL Route 53 in Long Grove. The incident involved a high-speed collision between a car and the rear end of a tractor-trailer, leaving the driver of the car severely trapped. Emergency responders from Long Grove were quickly on the scene, supported by additional teams from Buffalo Grove, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, and Palatine fire departments.
The severity of the situation required advanced technical skills to free the trapped driver. Firefighters worked diligently for nearly an hour, utilizing three sets of hydraulic tools to carefully extricate the victim. Initially, there was consideration for calling in a medical helicopter for transport, but this was ultimately canceled once it became clear that the patient could be safely transported by ground ambulance. Palatine Ambulance 82 was dispatched to take the injured driver to Lutheran General Hospital, ensuring they received prompt medical attention.
Photographs taken by Larry Shapiro captured the intense efforts of the first responders, showing the car wedged precariously beneath the massive trailer of the semi-truck. In one image, you can see the intricate use of cribbing and airbags being used to lift the trailer enough to free the trapped vehicle. Other photos document the aftermath, highlighting the complexity of the crash and the coordinated teamwork needed to resolve the situation.
