Initial reports were of multiple tractor-trailers with a debris field spreading over 200 yards. Engine Rescue 17 was canceled while en route due to negative entrapment and minor injuries.

Hours later at approximately 1059 am, Engine Rescue 17 was alerted to assist the Philipsburg Fire Department with another multiple vehicle accident on 322 in the area of Blueball Rd.

Initial reports were of two tractor-trailers being involved with heavy entrapment in one. In addition, a report was given of one of the vehicles being a tanker truck that had partially rolled.

Crew members for Engine Rescue 17 assisted with patient extrication of an operator who was heavily entrapped by the dash and steering column, and also stabilized the tanker to prevent it from completely rolling over.

Crews from multiple rescue companies worked for approximately 30 minutes to free the operator, who was flown to a trauma center by air medical.

A heavy wrecker tow truck was also requested to the scene to assist with extrication.
