Around 9:45 AM on Tuesday, July 7th, Croton Fire and EMS were dispatched to a person struck by a motor-vehicle on Croton Point Avenue near the entrance to Croton-Harmon Train Station. On the assignment were Engine 120, Rescue 18, Croton EMS 55B1 and Ossining Paramedic 36M1.

Less than two minutes later, Car 2082 (Asst. Chief Mansfield) was on scene, reporting a female pedestrian was struck by and trapped by the rear wheels of a tractor-trailer. Using Bottle Jacks from Rescue 18, the trailer portion of the vehicle was lifted off of the subject's lower extremity within five minutes.

The patient was then transferred over to CEMS and the Ossining Medic, who transported her with non-life-threatening injuries to the Westchester Medical Center.

Croton FD volunteers remained on scene for several hours, assisting Croton Police with their accident investigation.
