Back to Back MVA's on Tuesday Morning
By Chief Avery Scott
September 13, 2016
Right before 7am, this morning, South Salem firefighters were alerted to an MVA at the intersection of Spring Street and Rt. 35. Car 2451 arrived on scene first and reported that the FD was not needed. The call turned out to be a good intent. Minutes after clearing South Salem was dispatched to a four car MVA on Rt. 35 in the area of the firehouse. Units arrived on scene and confirmed the four car MVA with multiple injuries. Firefighters stabilized the vehicles and assisted LVAC and the Westchester Medics. Engine 167 and Utility 79 shut down Rt. 35 at both ends of Spring Street South. Units were cleared and the road was reopened in an hour.
