SkyCal video captured a textbook example of a vehicle extrication this morning.

Orange County Fire Authority firefighters used the Hurst Jaws of Life to extricate a driver who had crashed on the 405 Highway in the Seal Beach area.

Firefighters peeled the roof off of the pick-up truck and pulled the driver out of the car.

The driver was transported to the hospital, but appeared to be in good condition.
