This afternoon at 1:53pm the MTFR was dispatched to Route 12 West, between Route 61 and N 5th Street Highway, for a Motor Vehicle Accident with Entrapment. Berks DES advised responding units of a two vehicle accident with rollover and one person trapped, in the area of the railroad overpass. Upon arrival MTFR crews confirmed negative entrapment as the person had self extricated with the help of bystanders prior to the arrival of emergency services. MTFR crews checked the scene for further hazards and stood by until the vehicles were removed by Weaver’s Towing Co., Inc. We were assisted by Muhlenberg Township Police Department and Muhlenberg Ambulance. The roadway was cleared and reopened within 45 minutes.
