Late Thursday night, Engine and Ambulance 434 were dispatched to Oakton Road for report of an accident.  As units arrived they quickly realized they had a male victim unconscious and trapped after being T-boned.  They immediately added a Rescue and Medic.  This brought Rescue Engine 433 to the scene.  Once stabilizing the vehicle crews removed the roof first to allow access for airway management.  They removed the door and with the patient’s legs still pinned crews pushed the dash to free the patient.  Unfortunately, the patient succumb to his injuries in the days to follow.
