At approximately 12:20pm on Monday, August 15th, South Salem firefighters were dispatched to Rt.35 and Spring Street South for a reported rollover with entrapment. Car 2451 arrived on scene first and reported a 2 car MVA with 1 car on its side and 1 victim still trapped. As R21 and E166 were responding, 2451 updated that the victim was removed. Members checked the vehicles and assisted Lewisboro Police with traffic control. 1 victim was transported by LVAC. Units were clear within an hour.

This was the 3rd MVA with entrapment in a week. The previous 2 required much more extensive extrication operations.
