Newbridge and Fordham [8-5-14]

On the afternoon of Tuesday, August 5th the Hicksville Fire Department along with Nassau County Police were dispatched to the intersection of Newbridge and Fordham Avenues for a motor vehicle accident with overturn and possible entrapment. When first responders arrived on scene they found a two vehicle accident with one vehicle overturned in front of Holy Family Church. The driver of the overturned auto, the only occupant inside, was able to remove herself from the vehicle. She was treated by medical personnel on scene and then transported to an area hospital by a Nassau County Police Ambulance. Because there was no entrapment or fire hazard present the Hicksville Fire Department kept their ambulance on scene and disregarded other units. The other vehicle involved in the accident was parked at the time of impact and had no occupants within. The scene was left in the hands of Nassau County Police.
