PEORIA, Ill. — Peoria emergency personnel were called just before 6:00 p.m. Tuesday to the 800 block of N. Western Avenue for a one-vehicle accident with entrapment.
Crews found an SUV on its side with a man unconscious inside. Fire Battalion Chief Rick Morgan said they gained access through the back of the vehicle.
“Crews were able to establish advanced life support by establishing an I.V. Upon doing that, the driver became conscious. At that time, medics were waiting for them. So, they put him on a gurney and assisted with packaging the patient for transport to the OSF emergency room,” Morgan said.
The man’s condition was not available.
