ORIGINAL STORY: A traffic collision Thursday night caused a vehicle to roll over onto Los Angeles County Fire Department Station 128’s lawn, where first responders then began to work to extricate multiple individuals who were trapped in the vehicle.
“We have a one-vehicle rollover,” said Fire Department Supervisor Imy McBride. Fire officials reported the call came in at 8:12 p.m. on the 28000 block of Whites Canyon Road.
“Two persons are trapped and they’re working on extracting them,” said Fire Department Supervisor Miguel Ornelas, adding that first responders on the scene had not provided the status of the trapped individuals as of 8:35 p.m.
Witnesses on the scene reported that the car collided with a light pole and then went through a rollover, eventually coming to rest on the lawn of the fire station.
No firefighters were injured as a result of the collision, according to Ornelas.
