The patient was identified as a 35-year-old woman who suffered severe head injuries, with potential for rapid sequence intubation (RSI). A pelvic binder was placed to stabilize her condition during transport. Additional stable patients were assessed on scene, though it is believed only the 35-year-old woman will require transport.
The investigation into the cause of the accident is ongoing.
