“We were dispatched at 11:50 p.m.; we arrived at 11:58 (p.m.),” Lopez said. The call involved a traffic collision with a person trapped.

Two people were initially in the car, according to fire officials. One person was treated on the scene and then transported to a local hospital at 12:54 a.m. Tuesday.

The person trapped was extricated at 12:38 a.m., treated at the scene, and then transported to the hospital at 1:13 a.m. Tuesday, Lopez said.
