A 52-year-old male was transported from the scene by Medic 7 after firefighters safely extricated him from his vehicle. The collision caused heavy damage to the windshield, dashboard, and passenger side of the car, but airbags did not deploy. The driver reports that while he was driving his leg became pinned between the car firewall and the accelerator, forcing the vehicle to travel at a high rate of speed. He lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the tree. The man was pinned inside the vehicle for approximately 7 minutes following the crash until firefighters were able to free him.
