Overturn Sends Two to the Hospital in Mo.

March 1, 2013

A single vehicle crash near Branson on Feb. 25 sent to occupants to the hospital.

Crews arrived to find one vehicle overturned with two occupants trapped on East Highway 76, just East of Indian Point Road. Both patients were conscious and alert.

Firefighters had to use hydraulic cutting tools to remove the roof of the vehicle to extricate the patients.

Rain was very heavy during the extrication process that took around 15 minutes.

Two Mercy Ambulances responded. The Mercy Lifeline Crew assisted since they were unable to fly due to weather.

Both patients were transported to Cox Branson with minor to moderate injuries.
