Merrick Road [3-19-15]

The Merrick Fire Department was alerted to an auto accident with a request for the Hurst tool at 2291 Merrick Road at 14:39 hours on Thursday, March 19th. As units were responding they were advised that there was no entrapment at the scene and that a vehicle in the parking lot had gone into an adjacent creek. Upon arriving on scene firefighters found exactly that – a BMW sedan had gone through a wooden guardrail in the CVS parking lot and into a creek. The driver was able to get herself out of the vehicle and was evaluated for injuries on scene. No other vehicles were involved in the accident and all fire department units were under the command of Merrick Second Assistant Chief Paul Scolieri [6402].
