Grand and Garfield [9-21-14]

At 07:07 hours on the morning of September 21st, 2014 the Baldwin Fire Department was dispatched to a motor vehicle accident with a reported car into a building at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Garfield Road. The call was originally called in by a New Hyde Park Chief who was in the area and called in the accident reporting a person trapped within the auto. When Baldwin units arrived on scene they confirmed the pin and immediately put the tool into operation. Within minutes firefighters had the driver extricated from her auto and were loading her onto a back board. The driver was the lone occupant inside the vehicle and no other autos were involved in the accident. Slick roads from overnight and morning rain were believed to be a contributing factor in the accident. Once the victim was transported and the vehicle secured all fire department units were released from the scene. Baldwin units were under the command of Baldwin Third Deputy Chief Frank Cesare [2053]. Nassau County ESU Units 2421 and 2424 were also on the scene of the Sunday morning accident. No one inside the building was injured.
