Motor Vehicle Collision - Rollover / Entrapment - 1700 block of Preston Avenue North

At approximately 11:18 a.m. on June 2, 2020, the Saskatoon Fire Department received a 911 call from the lone occupant of an overturned vehicle in the 1700 block of Preston Avenue North; the caller reported to have struck a light standard and rolled before becoming trapped inside the vehicle. One fire engine, one rescue unit, and one battalion chief were dispatched for response.

Firefighters arrived on scene within minutes and began preparing the patient and vehicle for the extrication process. Fire dispatchers contacted the City of Saskatoon to attend to the downed light standard and electrical hazard. Extrication of the middle-aged female occupant was fully completed within about 13 minutes of first receiving notification of the incident. 

The occupant of the vehicle was medically assessed and found to have sustained only minor injuries; she was released on scene. The Saskatoon Police Service provided traffic control to aid in establishing a safe work environment for the duration of this incident.

Fire crews performed fluid and debris clean-up before clearing the scene and returning to their stations to continue serving Saskatoon.
