Union and Hicks [7-18-14]
Around 17:00 hours on the evening of July 18th, 2014 the Westbury Fire Department was alerted to a motor vehicle accident with possible fire at the intersection of Union Avenue and Hicks Street. When first responders arrived on scene they were met with a two vehicle accident with negative fire but with one person trapped. Units on scene had to roll a Volvo sedan from under a Toyota sport utility vehicle in order to extricate the driver of the SUV. Members of Westbury Hose Company No. 2 [969] began the extrication process and during the operation were assisted by members of Nassau County ESU [operating out of Unit 2420]. After a few minutes the victim was extricated and placed in an awaiting ambulance. One person was injured in the Friday evening crash while at least one other person refused medical attention on the scene. All fire department units were under the command of Westbury First Assistant Chief John Bartunek [9602].
