Volunteers were kept busy during the evening hours of Christmas Eve, responding to three motor-vehicle accidents in just over five hours.
At 4:26pm, E118 & R18 were dispatched to a single vehicle collision on Grand Street near Jacoby Street. Despite the air bags being deployed, the occupant declined medical treatment. E118 remained on scene until the vehicle was removed around 5:15pm.
While on the scene of the first MVA, 60 Control dispatched E119 & R18 to Brook Street for a two-car head-on accident with injuries. The crew of E119 assisted EMS with packaging two injured partied for transport to a local hospital by Croton EMS. All units cleared this incident at 6:11pm.
With snow falling over the area, the roads in Croton became dangerous, especially on Mount Airy. At 9:45pm, 60 Control once again sent out the CFD for a rollover accident with possible entrapment in the area of 220 Mount Airy Road West. On the assignment was R18, E118 and E119 with CEMS. At the scene, units found a late 90's SUV on it's roof with the three occupants out of it, uninjured. Units remained on scene to assist with removal of the vehicle and for the Town of Cortlandt to plow the area until 11pm.
