03.08.09 - Car accident with report of rescue, Race St., Hanover Township, PA

At 01:29 Han-Le-Co Station 33 was dispatched for a rescue on Race St. in the area of Airport Rd. in Hanover Twp. Lehigh County. Rescue 33 encountered a two vehicle MVA with no entrapment but with multiple patients.

Two medic units were on scene from Northampton Regional.

A car with two people was traveling eastbound out of Catasauqua Borough at a high rate of speed reportedly passing vehicles on this single lane road. They quickly approached another vehicle and in an attempt to pass it, clipped the left rear of the car sending that one into the fence at the Lehigh Valley International Airport. The offending vehicle crossed the yellow line and wiped out in the grass and injured both occupants (male & female).




Alcohol apparently played a role in this accident. State Police are investigating.

Is there a requirement in the department to wear hi-vis vests when at this kind of job? I would have thought the reflector stripes on their bunker gear was enough.

Stay safe.
