News Story
Members turned out to two similar motor accidents at the same time earlier today, one in Royal Oak, the other in Henderson. In Pah Road, Royal Oak, a car smashed into a power pole fracturing it many times, bringing down high-voltage wires which were draped across the vehicle. The occupant(s) somehow managed to scramble from the debris before emergency services arrived. It's thought to have been a stolen car. At Henderson it was the same sort of scenario: car into a pole with live wires. At both locations members put in cordons and road blocks until traffic management contractors took over. Just as members were all clear of both these events the brigade responded to a woman fallen over the cliff near Ladies Bay, St Heliers. A damaged car was nearby, having crashed into a road-side safety barrier. The Fire Service's High-Angle Rescue Team joined rescue efforts and the woman was stretchered up on to Cliff Road: she was not seriously injured.
