At 11:15 Box 21-21 was struck for a vehicle accident with injuries and possible entrapment on Route 30 Westbound in the area of the PennDOT Shed.  Rescue 2 from the "41 House" was enroute within 2 minutes staffed with  5 personnel and Chief 41-1 in the seat followed by Rescue 1 with 7 and Lt. Poole riding officer.  While enroute, the 41 and 21 crews were notified that Hellam Township PD was on scene confirming No Entrapment and 2 patients.  Rescue 2 along with Attack 21 arrived to find one vehicle down the embankment and appeared to have been overturned then landing on all four wheels.  Crews went to work cribbing and depowering the vehicle. Since there were only two patients and the 41 BLS unit was on scene, Rescue 1 was placed available ready for service.  Crews also assisted the BLS unit with loading the patients.  21 and 41 units remained on scene until the vehicle was removed nearly an hour after dispatch.  Incident complete at 12:05.
