Blueberry Lane [6-23-14]

Around noon time on June 23rd the Hicksville Fire Department was alerted to a report of car versus house at the intersection of Blueberry and Ball Park Lanes. When first responders arrived on scene they were met with a confirmed vehicle into a house. A Jeep sport utility vehicle traveling on Newbridge Road left the roadway tearing through shrubs, a wooden fence, and a shed before plowing into the rear of 231 Blueberry Lane. This Jeep had been rear ended on the roadway and veered across four lanes. Two people were inside the residence at the time of impact – one in the living room and one upstairs. Due to the instability and uncertainty of the staircase a neighbor helped to safely evacuate the upstairs occupant via a ground ladder. One person was injured in the accident and transported to an area hospital. Bethpage sent their Technical Rescue Team via Rescue 3 to the scene to help shore up the home. During the operation one dry hand line was stretched to the front of the residence for precautionary measures. All fire department units were under the command of Hicksville Second Assistant Chief Robert Telender Jr. [9303].
