Two vehicle collision - rescue required - Traffic Bridge

At approximately 1:39 this afternoon, the Saskatoon Fire Department received a 911 call reporting a two vehicle collision on the Traffic Bridge.

One Fire Engine, one Heavy Rescue Unit, and one Battalion Chief were dispatched for response. Upon arrival of the first responding fire crew, a Mini Cooper with two occupants and a Ford Escape with a lone occupant appeared to have collided head-on. It was determined that extrication would be required to remove one occupant from the Mini Cooper.

Fire crews on scene stabilized and de-energized the vehicles in preparation for extrication. Upon arrival of the Heavy Rescue Unit, fire crews performed extrication of the driver from the Mini Cooper. The extrication was completed in less than ten minutes and the driver was then transported to hospital with undetermined injuries.

The Saskatoon Fire Department has since cleared this incident and the scene has been left with the Saskatoon Police Service.
