PITTSBURGH, PA — Emergency responders extricated an adult male driver Sunday night after a vehicle traveled approximately 75 feet down a steep hillside in Pittsburgh’s Carrick neighborhood.
Pittsburgh Police from Zone 3, Pittsburgh Fire personnel, and Pittsburgh EMS were dispatched just before 10:30 p.m. on November 8 to the 1300 block of Nobles Lane following reports of a single-vehicle collision with entrapment. Arriving responders located the vehicle over the hillside with the driver trapped inside.
Rescue Paramedics and firefighters gained access to the vehicle, stabilized it, and provided medical treatment to the driver while he remained inside. Responders then extricated the driver, secured him in a Stokes basket, and utilized a low-angle rope rescue system to haul him up the slope to the roadway. Pittsburgh EMS transported the driver to a local hospital in stable condition.
