AND HE WALKED AWAY!

Battalion 14 recently responded to a Physical Rescue on the 170 Freeway in Fire Station 89s district. First companies on-scene reported a 3-vehicle T/A with one occupant trapped.

Firefighters used the Jaws of Life to free the victim. He was transported to a local hospital in serious condition.

The occupant of the vehicle pictured received NO injuries and was found to be in excellent condition despite the damage to the vehicle. This occupant was wearing his seatbelts.

Comments:
This was one of three vehicles involved. One vehicle, an SUV, was overturned with the driver needing extrication. The vehicle shown was most likely stopped on the freeway and rear-ended by the third vehicle.

The remainder of the pictured auto was "accordianed" up into the back seat all the way to the "B" post.

This guy was lucky!
 
Just a correction, I responded to the incident and this vehicle was stopped on the freeway because the driver was involved in a previous accident. He was on the side of the freeway when the suv hit the stopped car from behind. Had he been in the vehicle at the time, I don't think he would have walked away.
 
Thanks for the correction. That makes a lot more sense.
