Emergency crews rescue trapped driver after crash at Park and Northwest Expressway
Eugene, OR – Eugene Springfield Fire responded to a motor vehicle accident at Park and Northwest Expressway just after 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
The crash involved two vehicles, with one sedan sustaining heavy damage and trapping an occupant inside.
Emergency crews, including one engine, one truck, a Battalion chief, and two ambulances from the Whitaker station, arrived at the scene and began stabilizing the vehicle.
