At approximately 1715, units from Stonewall Jackson, Gainesville, and Yorkshire were dispatched to Box 1165 for a reported overturned vehicle in the vicinity of Sudley Road and Lee Highway. Communications advised there was a car on its side in a ditch with people still trapped inside. T511's officer requested a Rescue be added to the call and RS504 was dispatched.

T511 arrived on the scene and found a single vehicle on its side with two people still inside and one who had self extricated. None reported any injuries. T511 began stabilization and was joined by RS504 on arrival. E504's officer established command and T511's officer took Safety, assigning RS504 as Extrication.

Working quickly, the vehicle was stabilized with Paratech struts and the trapped driver and passenger were removed via ladder.
