MVA with EMS Box Alarm in Buffalo Grove, 4-11-18
Last Thursday evening (April 11, 2018), a serious multi-vehicle collision occurred at the intersection of McHenry Road and Lake-Cook Road in Buffalo Grove. The crash was severe enough that it necessitated the use of specialized extraction tools to free one of the drivers trapped inside their vehicle. Additionally, the complexity of the incident required an EMS Box Alarm to manage all the patients involved. Ultimately, ten individuals were transported to nearby hospitals via ambulances dispatched from six different fire departments. These included Buffalo Grove, Wheeling, Palatine, Long Grove, Lake Zurich, and Palatine Rural FPD ambulances. Alongside these medical response teams, fire suppression units from Buffalo Grove, Arlington Heights, and the Prospect Heights FPD were also present at the scene.
Attached are several photos taken by Larry Shapiro, capturing the intense efforts of firefighter/paramedics as they worked tirelessly to assist those injured in the crash. In one image, you can see firefighters carefully removing a victim from the wreckage, highlighting the urgency and precision required during such incidents. Another photograph showcases the aftermath of the collision, providing a stark reminder of the potential dangers at this busy intersection. Further images depict various emergency vehicles, including Buffalo Grove FD Engine 26 and Arlington Heights FD Engine 4, which played crucial roles in managing the situation. These visuals not only document the chaos but also underscore the dedication and professionalism of first responders who often face unpredictable challenges like this one.
As someone who has witnessed similar events firsthand, I am always struck by how quickly life can change in an instant. These photos serve as both a tribute to the bravery of our local emergency services and a sobering reminder of the importance of safe driving practices. It’s humbling to think about the coordination required among so many agencies to ensure everyone involved receives timely care. While we hope such accidents remain rare, it’s comforting to know there are dedicated professionals ready to respond whenever needed.
