This afternoon CFARS spent some time once again responding to an incident on Rt 78. Just before 3pm, CFARS and Lebanon Boro Fire were dispatched with NJSP to Rt 78 East near Exit 20/Cokesbury Rd for the reported multi-vehicle & tour bus accident. CFARS responded 4 BLS units, and requested 1 BLS each from our mutual aid partners Whitehouse Rescue and Flemington-Raritan First Aid and Rescue Squad. Hunterdon Medical Center\'s EMS1 also responded, but was cancelled on scene. Shortly after arriving, it was found to be 10 vehicles and 1 tour bus with 39 on board involved and all lanes were closed. A quick triage identified several individuals requiring transportation, and a few that had minor injuries treated and released on the scene. Flemington was cancelled and returned as not needed. We also thank Quakertown Fire Company who provided 1 BLS unit to cover our station while we operated, and who also responded to a second accident on Rt 22 for us. |
